Training

Local and Online Training Options

Picture
The Mental Health First Aid training course was developed to equip you with the tools needed to provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health problem or is experiencing a mental health crisis.

The GNWT is offering this three-day training to all residents for free, across the NWT.

If you are interested in taking the Mental Health First Aid training in your community, please call your local Community Counselling Program for more information.

You can also search for courses on the Mental Health First Aid website.
Picture
The Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training uses small group discussions, videos, and roleplaying to help you learn how to know if someone you know if thinking about suicide and if so, how to take the first steps toward helping them.

The GNWT is offering the two-day training to community groups and the public.

If you are interested in attending an ASIST training session in your community, please call your local Community Counselling Program for more information.

You can also search for courses on the ASIST website.

Additional Training Options

The Crisis & Trauma Resource Institute delivers professional development mental health and crisis response training that is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive.

The 21-day Aboriginal Focusing-Oriented Therapy and Complex Trauma Certificate through the Justice Institute of British Columbia uses Focusing-Oriented Therapy as a safe and effective method of working with clients who experience complex trauma.

Focusing-Oriented Therapy (FOT) is particularly helpful to practitioners who work with residential school survivors, addictions, and survivors of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. The program especially benefits practitioners who work in Aboriginal agencies and/or communities or in various other cross-cultural situations/settings. 

While this program is taught from an Aboriginal, land-based knowledge perspective, peoples from all cultures and ethnicities are encouraged to apply.

For more information, visit the program website.
