Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an evidence-based program developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada that empowers people to recognize, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges.
Just like physical first aid equips us to help someone in a medical emergency, MHFA gives us the skills and confidence to offer initial support until professional help is available. Mental health impacts everyone, and learning how to respond effectively can make a life-changing difference. Every workplace, community, and individual should be trained in MHFA—it’s an essential skill for creating safe, compassionate, and resilient environments.
1 and 2-Day Courses are offered. Organizations can book private MHFA training sessions directly with Trina for their teams. A minimum of six participants is required to host an in-house session, and training can be delivered either in person or online to best fit your organization’s needs. This is a great option for workplaces that want to build a shared foundation of mental health literacy and support.
For individuals or smaller groups, public training sessions are offered each fall and spring, with upcoming dates listed on the website.
To learn more or to book a session for your organization, please contact Trina directly.

The Wellbeing Bank Account™
What’s Your Wellbeing Balance Today?
The Wellbeing Bank Account™ is a simple yet powerful framework I created to help people visualize and nurture their emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing — just like a financial bank account. Every day, we make deposits through healthy habits, meaningful connections, rest, and joy. And we make withdrawals through stress, overcommitment, and emotional strain.
When our wellbeing balance is low, we can feel depleted, disconnected, or overwhelmed. By learning to notice the balance — and intentionally making deposits — we can restore energy, strengthen resilience, and create a healthier relationship with ourselves and others.

The RISE Coaching Framework
R – Reconnect:
Regulate your nervous system and return to a place of inner safety and calm. This stage focuses on understanding your stress response — learning simple breathwork, mindfulness, and body-based tools to bring your body back into balance. As you regulate, you become less reactive and more connected to your creativity, power, brilliance, abundance, gratitude, surrender, and feminine energy.
I – Identify:
Identify the patterns, beliefs, and barriers that have kept you stuck. Together, we bring compassion and curiosity to the parts of you that developed for protection but now limit your growth.
S – Strengthen:
Strengthen your resilience, self-trust, and boundaries. You’ll learn tools for nervous system regulation, mindset shifts, and daily wellbeing practices that create lasting balance.
E – Empower:
Empower yourself to rise into action — living authentically, expressing your voice, and stepping boldly into the next chapter of your life.
