Mental health training for veteran aid providers to run in Vernon for first time
Groups and individuals that serve veterans in Vernon will get to access a specific training opportunity for the first time later this month.
The Mainland B.C. Military Family Resource Centre (BCMFRC) will run its Mental Health First Aid – Veteran Community training in Vernon.
The program is a free, two-day workshop for families or service providers who support medically released Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP that are dealing with mental health issues.
The course will cover a range of mental health issues and teach the skills for dealing with suicidal behaviour, drug overdoses, panic attacks, psychosis, and acute stress reaction.
