Mental Health First Aid at Neptune Theatre

The AFC are teaming up with Neptune Theatre to offer an in-person Mental Health First Aid Training Course in Halifax on Monday, October 28!

Mental health first aid (MHFA) is the crucial support provided to people navigating mental health crises or challenges. Just like a first aid/CPR course teaches us what to do in a cardiac emergency, MHFA gives us the tools and knowledge to help us identify common signs of distress and offer immediate aid until professional assistance is accessible.

The AFC is working towards a time when there is someone who is trained in mental health first aid at every set, stage, venue, and workplace in our sector. Understanding the signs and symptoms of a mental health emergency and knowing how to help can be vital in many life and work situations.

The MHFA Training Course was developed by Opening Minds/Mental Health Commission of Canada. The AFC gratefully acknowledges the support of the J & W Murphy Foundation for their Mental Health First Aid Training initiatives.

Course details:
- Self-guided module to be completed beforehand (2 hours approximately)
- Full-day in-person classroom training: Monday, October 28, 9 am – 5 pm AT, at
Neptune Theatre – Craig Boardroom
- Fee: $200/person; limited subsidized spots are available (reach out to The AFC directly
