Mental Health Literacy Live and Asynchronous Trainings

MHL includes four core components: understanding how to foster & maintain positive mental health; understanding common mental health disorders, signs & symptoms, and treatments; understanding how to seek help effectively; and understanding stigma and strategies for stigma reduction.

MHLC’s leveled certification model addresses these barriers by helping individuals and communities gain confidence and competence around a topic they might otherwise avoid. Check out their website to view their live and asynchronous training options.

Mental Health and High School Curriculum Guide (Version 3)

The Mental Health and High School Curriculum Guide developed in partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association provides a complete set of educational tools to increase understanding of mental health and mental disorders among both students and teachers. The guide focuses on training teachers to be comfortable with their own knowledge of mental health and mental disorders, and then empowers the teachers to share this knowledge with their students through a curriculum delivered in a multiple module format. The program uses a variety of interactive sessions that help to promote dialogue among students, as well as with their teachers. Discussing mental health and mental illness in a supportive, familiar environment enables youth to feel safe, ask questions, gain knowledge, combat stigma and develop their own opinions of the world around them. The teachers training materials are provided for free, and many of the other materials are incorporated into this curriculum site.
