Mental Health First Aid This workshop teaches participants how to help someone who is showing signs of a mental health problem or is experiencing a mental health crisis. The 12-hour training covers the following topics:

- Signs and symptoms of mental health problems and crisis situations;

- A basic model to provide Mental Health First Aid; - Information about how to help in a crisis and how to help

prevent a crisis from arising; - Encouraging a person to identify options for help.

The training is open to the general public, families, formal caregivers such as teachers, health service providers, emergency workers, human resource professionals, employers and people with lived experience of mental illness. Maximum number of participants is 25. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule if there are an insufficient number of registrants. For more information, or to register, please contact [email protected]

SAFETALK This is a half-day alertness training that prepares anyone over the age of 15, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper. Most people with thoughts of suicide do not truly want to die, but are struggling with the pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they invite help to stay alive. SAFETALK-trained helpers can recognize these invitations and take action by connecting them with life-saving intervention resources, such as caregivers trained in ASIST. Register online at www.cmhamiddlesex.ca/learn.

Please check back regularly on our website www.cmhamiddlesex.ca regarding upcoming public education workshops. If you have any questions regarding our workshops, please connect with Denise at 519-432-1607 ext. 6422.

Peer support is a powerful opportunity for a person

(peer) living with a mental health need and/or addiction

challenge to connect with another person (peer

supporter) who has experienced a similar challenge

and has gone through their own recovery progress.

CMHA Middlesex recognizes the value of peer support in all its forms.

This includes the informal model where individuals connect as

participants in a natural way based on shared experiences and

formalized peer support offered by a trained and experienced peer

supporter who is a volunteer or worker at CMHA Middlesex. CMHA

Middlesex offers formalized peer support through the Transitional

Discharge Model

and piloting it

within Crisis

Services and

Outreach

Services.

Throughout this

guide, you will

notice a “P” icon

next to programs

facilitated by

peer supporters

and where peer

support is at its

core. For more
