Hi Friends,

I just spent the last five days in an intensive training to become a Youth Mental Health First Aid instructor! The training was incredible – I learned so much more than I have gleaned from many books, I was able to ask some burning questions about mental health in general, and now I feel confident that I can be a positive influence in my community to break down the stigma around mental health and make a difference in people’s lives.

There will be more to come later on this topic, but for now I’ll leave you with a quick video that will explain more about Mental Health First Aid. Thanks for following the Homestead, Arwen
