Core Indigenous Cultural Safety Mental Health Training
Core Indigenous Safety (ICS) Mental Health Training builds on the foundation provided in Core ICS Health with a specific focus on mental health issues for professionals working with Indigenous people in British Columbia. The Core ICS Mental Health is specific to those who work in the mental health field and the goal is to improve access to mental health services and mental health outcomes for Indigenous people.
The training is designed for non-Indigenous mental health professionals working in PHSA, Regional Health Authorities, Ministry of Health and their partner agencies. The curriculum is intended as introductory training and is supplemented by the Nation and region specific training provided by regional health authorities or Indigenous groups.
Learning is self-paced over an eight-week window and typically takes between nine-eleven hours to complete, though this could be longer or shorter depending on your style of learning.
Upon successful completion of your training, you will be able to download a copy of your certificate one-week after your group closes.
