Educators Getting Mental Health First Aid Training

Some educators in the Rainy River district are receiving Mental Health First Aid Training.

Laura Chabot of Kenora-Rainy River Children and Family Services says its important training for educators since many mental health problems often develop during adolescence.

Chabot says the training is not intended to teach people how to be therapist or counsellors, but rather to help teachers to support their students in accessing available services.
