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

Mental Health Wilderness First Aid is designed for anyone who lives, works, or plays in remote areas or rural communities. Teachers, tree planters, wilderness guides, Canadian Armed Forces members, Search and Rescue teams, university students, hikers, remote area professionals and rural community members have all benefitted from MHWFA courses.
