This course has helped me to know that it’s okay to be on the low side sometimes, mental health is just a disease like other diseases that can be treated. There is nothing like stigma that can hold me or my loved one from sharing our feelings and seeking help when needed. People with mental health can still thrive with a good support system around them. Everybody has mental health because it’s part of daily life, and a way to build resilience.

Learn about equipped: mental health courses for young adults
EQUIPPED offers mental health courses and tools for young adults. It provides an online platform for learning through modules and workbooks. EQUIPPED builds on the basic concepts taught in YouthSMART, but expands knowledge for a slightly older audience of emerging adults – ages 16 to 24.
Our free courses take about an hour to complete and include a downloadable workbook. As such, you can complete both the course and the workbook together, or you can choose to start with whichever fits your learning style.
