🌟 Mental health matters. People in crisis matter. 🌟

ASIST (Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training) is a powerful, life-changing workshop. This two-day program provides participants with the skills to recognize the signs of someone at risk of su***de and to intervene with compassion and confidence. It’s about ensuring that individuals in crisis feel seen, supported, and valued during their most vulnerable moments.

This training is facilitated by two compassionate and skilled individuals, Krista Kelly and Karla Veens, whom I’ve had the honour of working with personally. Their dedication to this vital cause is deeply inspiring.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to take a similar program. It was an impactful experience, and I truly believe everyone should have access to this type of training. Because mental health matters, and people navigating crises need to know that they matter.

If you’re in the Strathroy area, and have been considering learning how to support others in this way, this is your chance to be the difference. 💙
