Mental health training gains traction in rural communities
A mental health first aid course has taken off in rural communities outpacing expectations.
The two-day course is by the Do More Agriculture Foundation in partnership with Farm Credit Canada.
Lesley Rae Kelly with the not-for-profit group said they hoped for 10 to 12 applications from rural communities across Canada and received 80.
“This just shows the need and the want to get this training into our communities,” she said.
