These are not certification programs but provide participants with a valuable learning opportunity that can develop skills to support themselves and others. We offer learning for all ages, in the community or virtually.
Our team is also available to support the community by attending wellness and information fairs to share information with attendees about the services provided by CMHA Waterloo Wellington.

Family education is available for anyone that is interested in learning more about mental health, and how to support their loved ones. There are a variety of educational events offered throughout the year informed by feedback and current trends.
