This northern version of the Mental Health First Aid Canada course integrates material that reflects the experiences of Aboriginal peoples - First Nation, Inuit, and Metis.

In addition, this course addresses the importance of holism and balance. The whole person – mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual - must be considered when providing mental health first aid.

Mental Health First Aid for Northern Peoples is guided by a number of important principles including respect, cooperation, community, harmony, generosity, and resourcefulness.
