Testimonials
- Jason Dole, Safety Director at Sugar Construction, Inc.
“Mental Health First Aid training has enabled me to identify where there may be an issue and how to cope/work with different individuals. The training has equipped me with the knowledge to be a good listener and help individuals that may be struggling with certain aspects of life. I am confident to engage in situations, and comfortable being a shoulder for anyone that needs it until we can get them the help they need.”
