The development phase of the mental health first aid for the veterans community and the first year of production were accompanied by an extensive evaluative research data collection component. We know early on that the user satisfaction with what they learned from those programs has been very high and very significant.
We also know that mental health first aid has many versions for various populations across the country, including seniors, youth, first nations, Inuit, etc. We know that there have now been close to 250,000 Canadians trained in mental health first aid overall. The outcomes from those many training opportunities across the country over the last six years have been consistently very good.
