Opening Minds Facilitator Certification Training

The Working Mind Virtual

The Working Mind Facilitator Certification Training (TWM FCT) is a skills and competencies-based training designed to prepare selected candidates to meet the certification requirements to deliver The Working Mind (TWM) course in a virtual classroom setting.

TWM facilitators support the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC)’s efforts to change the attitudes and behaviours of Canadians towards mental health and play a vital role in equipping people to support the well-being of their families, friends and community.

Designed by the MHCC in collaboration with Training & Delivery Specialists and an advisory group of Master Trainers, this blended training program features self-paced online components as well as facilitator-led virtual classrooms.

The goal of TWM FCT is to enable participants to:

• Become familiar with the MHCC’s mandate and programs
• Apply adult learning principles and facilitation strategies
• Practice facilitating TWM course topics in a virtual classroom
• Prepare to give/receive helpful feedback
• Prepare to address the course administration and logistical requirements of TWM facilitators
