Mental Health Training
There are various mental health trainings that are available to both students and staff at HOEM on Jarvis. We encourage everyone to check them out and get involved. If you have specific questions about any of these trainings, just get in touch!
safeTALK is a face-to-face presentation featuring powerful presentations, audiovisuals and skills practice. At a safeTALK workshop, you will learn how to prevent suicide by recognizing signs, engaging someone, and connecting them to an intervention resource for further support. All student staff are trained in safeTALK and HOEM hosts 3 safeTALK trainings per year that are open to all students. For dates, questions, or to register, please contact jarvis@hoem.ca.
Student Staff Mental Health Training
All student staff receive Student Mental Health Training, which raises awareness of mental health issues, including signs and symptoms and the role of resiliency in maintaining mental health. It also reduces the stigma that is often associated with getting help. Student staff learn the skills required to assist someone who is struggling with their mental health and connect them with further care. Training is provided by the Canadian Mental Health Association.

HOEM admin staff are trained in ASIST. LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day face-to-face workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions, and simulations.
