Both LeaderShift and Chinook Winds Pacific Mountain First Third Ministry have a deep commitment to providing training for church staff and leaders, so that they can be confident when it comes to managing mental health crisis. It is very excited to also include a Young Adult-specific training!

We believe that Mental Health First Aid is just as important as being able to respond to a physical injury. Upon completion of these courses, you will be certified in the Mental Health First Aid course of the Mental Health Commission of Canada.

Full details on the course offerings and trainer are here on the LeaderShift website. We are thrilled that Dr Julie Clayton of Tipping Point Counselling Services is facilitating these courses. Julie is a certified MHFA teacher, a highly skilled counsellor, and holds a Master of Divinity and years of experience as a congregational pastor.


Faithfully,

The LeaderShift Team
