Be a leader in improving society's mental health
If you're passionate about supporting others and promoting mental health, this course is for you. Designed for anyone with a genuine desire to make a positive impact—no prior experience required—it introduces you to common mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bereavement, addiction, self-harm, suicide, and dementia. You'll learn to offer support using the REAL Support Framework (REAL-SF)—a simple, 6-step model that helps you respond confidently and compassionately.
In the second half of the course, you'll focus on mental health advocacy: raising awareness, reducing stigma, and educating others to create healthier communities. By the end, you’ll be equipped to serve as a Mental Health Ambassador, promoting understanding and offering real support to those in need.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
