Dear Nursing Students, We are fourth year nursing students in our community rotation, located at the YMCA Mental Health Services. Our manager has graciously offered to host a private session for a minimum of 8 students to become certified in Mental Health First Aid. This program is typically associated with a fee of $300 for certification but for a limited time, this program can be offered for 50% off just for U of M students. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain knowledge on mental health crisis management within the community, support the Mental Health Services program at the YMCA, as well to strengthen your nursing CV. The program is a two-day session, with the next program being offered June 25th – June 26th. With nursing schedules being busy, if there is enough interest, Rebecca (manager at YMCA Mental Health Services) is willing to try to find a more convenient time to deliver the program (in August after finals, or in November during reading week).

Please Do Not Reply to this Email. For more information contact, Rebecca at Rebecca.trudeau@ymanitoba.camailto:Rebecca.trudeau@ymanitoba.ca , Alimah (ibrahi61@myumanitoba.camailto:ibrahi61@myumanitoba.ca) or Lauren (allardl3@myumanitoba.camailto:allardl3@myumanitoba.ca).

Thank you, Alimah Ibrahim and Lauren Allard.
