Mental Health Courses Ontario.

"I had the pleasure of taking Mental Health First Aid training facilitated by Jason in January 2020. Personable, engaging, dynamic--Jason is a talented facilitator who is able to not only impart knowledge but nurture discussion and learning in ways that enhance everyone's experience. It is clear that this is something he is passionate about, and he excels at what he does! As I work daily with facilitators trained in adult education, I see what a significant impact they can have. I would not hesitate to have Jason facilitate MHFA at my workplace and would encourage anyone with the opportunity to take the course with him."

"I had the pleasure of having Jason teach the MHFA workshop to a small group of us caregivers (none of us knew each other well, if at all). Jason was personable, sensitive and approachable. He made us very comfortable with the material and we felt very safe to share our own stories as a group."

"The course you taught us saved a life already. A civilian friend of mine contacted me with concerns about a former military mbr he knew. This man’s behavior was troubling my friend and he wanted my judgement on how serious I thought it might be, and what should be done, bc he didn’t know. With just a brief description I was able to ascertain the situation was critical. I copied the relevant pages from the first aid book, including all references for help lines and other resources, and then gave my friend a 15 min crash course on the steps to take, how to talk to this man, and what to do. The end result was the best possible, all the steps really worked and after listening to him for a few hours and a call to the crisis line, my friend was able to take the man to the hospital to be admitted. Had I not learned everything you taught us so well and not had the first aid book right there to reference, I don’t even want to think about might have happened. But as it stands I knew what to do, and knew where to find the information that led to a successful conclusion. Please keep teaching this course, it not only saved this one man’s life, possibly others as well, but my friend also does not have to live with the weight of a tragedy on his shoulders."
