Mental health challenges are just as frequent as cuts and broken bones. Yet those in remote communities or wilderness areas face circumstances that require a more nuanced set of mental health tools than in an urban environment.

Mental Health Wilderness First Aid is for anyone who lives, works, or plays in remote areas or rural communities. Tree planters, Search and Rescue teams, wilderness guides, Canadian Armed Forces members, teachers, hikers, remote area professionals and rural community members benefit from MHWFA training. Join us!

What are Students saying?
It can be hard to know what to say.

We're changing that.
We do not require personal medical information from our students, volunteers,
staff, or contractors as a condition of providing services.
