Free Training and Resource Connections
Sage Wellness Connection continues to be a passion project focused on teaching about mental health and wellbeing. We knew we could not do that with only the two of us, so we broadened the approach and focused on reaching people through their people. We are continuing to offer the original two training streams - First Responders Champion’s training and Wellness Facilitator Training. In addition, we have added Workplace Wellness Facilitator training and First Responder Family and Friends. All of the training will create competence and confidence around the 8 Dimensions of Wellness for willing local participants. Along with all of the training, we are offering many podcasts as another opportunity to learn more about mental health and wellness plus available local resources. The Mental Health Resource HUB is made up of a collection of our rural mental health supports. Have a look!

Free Family Movie Event and Pancake Breakfast- “How to Train a Dragon”
The BRITE (South Schools Mental Health Program), IMPACT Committee and Sage Wellness Connection (sponsored by the RMH project) once again joined forces to continue the conversation around mental health focused on families by bringing everyone together through a Free Pancake Breakfast and Free Movie Event - “How to Train a Dragon” on June 14, 2025, at the Legion and the Alma Theatre in Wainwright, AB.
Attending the movie, “How to Train Your Dragon” provided a fun and engaging opportunity for parents and children to connect over important conversations about emotions, courage, and growth. By participating in this event, parents were given the chance to learn how to support their child’s mental health in relatable, age-appropriate ways. The themes in the movie—such as overcoming fear, building trust, and embracing differences — open the door for meaningful discussions that strengthen emotional resilience and family bonds.
Many pancakes/sausages were eaten and many games were played.There was lots of wonderful feedback from the participating families about the opportunity to learn more about mental health in a fun and inclusive way. We cannot say a Big Enough Thank You to all of the Mental Health Resource People! Your efforts and willingness to always show up, help out and support the people that attended has not gone unnoticed! As well, we cannot forget to acknowledge the efforts of our Youth Volunteers! Your eagerness to do whatever needed to be done was greatly appreciated! Another Thank You must go out to M2 Dance for taking on the full responsibility of the pancake breakfast from set up, to cooking, serving and cleaning up. Finally, the Rural Mental Health Project for the funding of this event. None of this would have been possible without this collective effort!
To all of the families that took part in this event, thank you for putting your family first. We know that we live in a busy world that pulls us in all kinds of directions. We hope this was an opportunity to connect, find joy along with some learning.
