This fun, informative, and interactive training opportunity will provide you with the information and skills you need to harness your inner helper!

Student Helpers training aims to increase mental health awareness, reduce the stigma around mental health, and provide practical information and skills that students can use to help their friends (or themselves!) when they are struggling with mental health concerns. Participants will learn about mental health and illness, how to identify when someone may be struggling, build confidence on how to approach and help a struggling friend, the knowledge required to appropriately refer peers to supports, and lots of practical tips on how to be an effective helper.

Food will be provided, and all participants will receive a certificate of completion from the program which will boost your resume/CV/post-degree application.
