Wing Kei Offers Regular Training on “Mental Health First Aid Seniors”
On October 5, 13 exciting graduates (family members, volunteers, staff) have just finished their 2-day nationally recognized certificate training, and proudly sharing that “I am trained to provide Mental Health First Aid”! Mental Health First Aid Seniors (MHFA Seniors) is an international program active in over 20 countries. In Canada, MHFA training and courses are developed and mandated through The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC). Wing Kei believes in promoting mental health in seniors, we recognize the importance of early intervention, and that mental health knowledge is key to all. Fortunate to have in house certified trainers, Wing Kei provides regular training on “MHFA Seniors” since 2018.
