Psychological Health & Safety & Return to Work
This training provides participants with the resources and tools to develop strategies to assist workers with disabilities, individually and collectively, and support return to healthy and productive employment.
Mental illness is a leading cause of disability in Canada and workplaces that have a strong commitment to psychological health and safety, demonstrated by the behaviours of the workplace, have more success in Return to Work (RTW).

Mental Health First Aid Basic
On behalf of the Mental Health Commission of Canada
This two-day course gives participants the skills to provide assistance to a person who has a mental health problem or is experiencing a mental health crisis. Just as physical first aid is administered to an injured person before professional medical care can be offered, mental health first aid will help to bridge a gap in treatment.
