RSVP FOR Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) workshop
The York School will be hosting a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) workshop for parents and caregivers on May 22 from 8:45am - 4:00pm. Currently, all York School staff are being trained in MHFA by our Senior School Social Worker, Avallon Leopold. Mental Health First Aid is a nationally recognized, evidence-based program that helps adults learn how to provide help to a person developing a mental health problem or experiencing a crisis. This training will help participants recognize signs of mental health challenges and guide people toward appropriate professional help when needed. The program is widely used across Ontario in schools, healthcare, and community settings. At the end of the workshop, you will earn a participation certificate in MHFA.
Cost: $75.00 per person
