GAIN A MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID CERTIFICATE & A BWY MODULE CERTIFICATE
Why Take This Yoga-based Mental Health First Aid Module?
Mental illness is on the rise. There is a growing chance that you will encounter mental illness in your family, community or in a yoga class. This course does two things: it trains you to use yoga to reduce the chances of becoming mentally ill for yourself and your students or peers, AND it qualifies you as a Mental Health First Aider. By taking this course and becoming a MHFAider, you will be better able to support people around you, including yourself.
