Black communities in Canada face many barriers to mental health care. In order to heal, Black individuals need to be heard, understood, and respected. Healing in community is key.

Developed and taught by Black trainers, this course will equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to facilitate diverse peer support groups and to provide emotional and practical support to people who are facing challenges related to mental health, racism, discrimination, and more.
• Support your fellow community members in an important and meaningful way.
