F-4 Mental Health First Aid Training for Stewards
Whereas PIPSC does not have a mental health course for Stewards;
Whereas the pandemic has really highlighted the need for stewards to receive training to help them better understand the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems so they can more effectively interact with and represent members experiencing a mental health problem or crisis,
Be it resolved that each Region be given an additional $60,000 in their training budget per year for the next three years to provide a Mental Health First Aid Course facilitated by the Canadian Mental Health Association or similar provider to their stewards.
Financial costs:
6 Regions x $60K per Region = $360K per year.
The average cost of an in person training session for two days is $2K per Steward (salary and travel) + $7K fee to the CMHA.
For an in person training session there is a limit of 25 participants.
To train 50 Stewards per year it would be $50K + $7K = $57K
The average cost of a virtual training session is $600 per Steward (salary replacement) + $3,500 fee to the CMHA.
The virtual course is 12 hours delivered over 5 segments.
For the virtual training session there is a limit of 15 participants.
To train 45 Stewards per year it would be $27K + $3,500 = $30,500.
