Boost mental health awareness in the trades. Join our free 3-hour workshop to explore risks, build coping skills, and support your team.

<h3>The trades are one of the largest industries in North America. In Canada, people in the trades are disproportionately impacted by the consequences associated with poor mental health and substance use.</h3><p><br></p><p>Within the participatory action approach, SafeLink Alberta conducted an environmental scan using semi-structured qualitative interviews with people in trades, post-secondary institutions, and several other industry professionals.</p><p>Using the results of our research, we developed this workshop to provide participants with a more robust understanding of the factors contributing to the increased risks of developing mental health and substance-use related issues in the trades.</p><p>We do this while also expanding participants' skills in supporting themselves and their coworkers and developing coping skills to improve their own mental health.</p><p>This workshop is approximately three hours in length and is recommended for everyone in the Trades industry, from General Managers to Administrative Coordinators, Project Managers to Field Technicians. Mental Health and substance use can affect everyone, and we should all be informed.</p><p>Our workshop is free for all Trades companies, large and small. The only qualification is that you have an interest in strengthening your EDI knowledge and practices.</p><p><br></p><h4>Upon completion of the workshop, all participants will be awarded a certificate to acknowledge their achievement.</h4><p><br></p><h3>Need training for a team?</h3><p>Organizations booking four or more slots can explore our <a href="https://safelinkalberta.ca/training-resources/" title="https://safelinkalberta.ca/training-resources/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">team training options for a tailored learning experience.</a></p><p><br></p><h3>Have Questions?</h3><p>Contact us at <a href="https://mailto:education@safelinkalberta.ca/" title="https://mailto:education@safelinkalberta.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">education@safelinkalberta.ca</a></p>
