An upcoming Mental Health and Leadership Training session hosted by the Aboriginal Student Organization will “foster a feeling of belonging and empower” students to be leaders, says one of the organizers.

In partnership with BUSU club Altitude at Brock, this training will provide students with the necessary tools and skills to effectively communicate with others and build stronger relationships.

Ryan Wijesirigunawardena, the President of ASO, says this will “help bring Brock students together by increasing engagement with other communities and student groups.”

Brock staff will provide the training sessions and students will earn certificates upon completion.

Students will receive:

• Foundations in Leadership Bronze Level training
• Suicide Prevention Training (Question, Persuade, Refer)
• Mental Health First Aid training

This is on a first come, first serve basis and will take place on campus April 29 and 30 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Students who are part of a BUSU club are eligible to receive the training. Lunch will be provided.

There are 24 seats available. To reserve a spot, contact Wijesirigunawardena at rw10yy@brocku.ca or ASO@busu.net by Monday, April 25.
