IIFL - Human-Centred Approach to Understanding Mental Health™

Event Date
Thu, Oct 3 2024, 9am - Fri, Oct 4 2024, 4pm

Mental Health is about people and our connection between our internal and external worlds. This two-day foundational training supports a wide variety of professionals and caregivers who support individuals living with mental illness and/or poor mental health. Using a human-centred approach, we can remove the band-aid approach to engaging with individuals and explore how safety and connection are the root of healing. We will work together to understand the basics, the role of safety and connection, and strategies to sustain the balance needed to thrive within this human experience known as life. We encourage you to bring your stories and your wisdom as we work toward building a strength-based approach to supporting the humanness of changes in our mental health.

Learning Objectives

  • Examine the role of adaptation in understanding mental health behaviours.
  • Explore the tension between scarcity and growth mindsets related to mental well-being.
  • Discuss the role of safety and connection as motivators of human behaviour.
  • Share the wisdom in the room related to sustaining balance in the ever-changing world.
  • Discover the safety and connection toolkit including:
    • Connection with other people
    • Connection with meaningful values
    • Connection with the natural world
    • Strategies to build safety through connection and belonging

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
