The Community Engagement area created at the end of 2016 is helping to build the capacity within our community through education and awareness around mental health in addition to helping erase the stigma that so often surrounds mental illness.

Programming includes presentations on various mental health topics to educational institutions, post-secondary institutions, workplaces, agencies, non-profit organizations and community service groups. In addition, safeTALK certification training (suicide alertness training) is provided.
