MH101 Workshops 

Blueprint for Learning has funding through the Ministry of Health to facilitate MH101 workshops for frontline government agency staff, social services staff, and members of the community who are not trained in mental health or addiction and are not registered health professionals. 

The face-to-face and online workshops are co-facilitated by Blueprint’s expert team, bringing a wealth of professional and personal experience to the sessions. Each participant will be given a workbook which they can keep. This includes all workshop material and is a reference guide for the future, including additional information and resources.
