Applications are now open for 24 mental health first aid scholarships being sponsored by Project 365.
The scholarships are available for the community of Wangaratta and surrounds, with the first round of training scheduled for December 8 and 9.
They will be facilitated by The Mental Health Coach through the Project 365 MHFA Scholarship Program.
The initiative is part of Project 365's commitment to investing in the community's mental health by channelling funds raised through events such as Bringing Light to the Dark, The Ripple Effect and a recent gala dinner to the scholarship program.
It will provide the Wangaratta community with a unique opportunity to learn how to recognise and address mental health challenges, by fostering mentally-healthy workplaces and communities where individuals are empowered to help not only their colleagues but also their clients, friends and families.
The scholarship course runs from 9am to 4pm on December 8 and 9, with attendance at both days required to gain the certificate.
