For over a decade, Angellah and Jim Brayshaw, through Sask Mental Health Training & Supports, have been dedicated to illuminating the often-invisible landscape of mental health in Saskatchewan. Our vision is rooted in the belief that when we improve humans, we improve everything. We strive to cultivate comfort and understanding, transforming conversations around mental well-being into opportunities for growth and support. We achieve this by offering a rich tapestry of experience, from breath behavioral analysis to critical incident stress management, connecting with audiences on a deeply human level. Our workshops and keynotes, whether focused on Psychological Health and Safety, Enhancing Emotional and mental Wellness, Mental Health First Aid, or Building Resilience, are designed to strengthen and equip participants with practical skills and the confidence to speak thoughtfully about their own experiences and those of others, and speak meaningfully with those experiencing wellness decline. We have witnessed the outcomes from fostering a culture of support and understanding, individuals can recognize the signs of mental health challenges in themselves and others, leading to stronger connections and more resilient communities. We are committed to providing evidence-based approaches that leave a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of those we reach. Our dedication, certified by leading mental health organizations, underscores our commitment to this enduring work.

Why does Power change People? Leaders of community groups to Global Political Leaders in all parts of the world.
Seeing the Neuroscience of why power changes leaders will help us to learn How we can shift . We will see it isn't always a character flaw and then step back to Regain our Principles so We Can Retain our Power.

The "Turn"

Why the Leaderโ€™s Brain Turns "We" into "Me" The Neuroscience of Power We often mistake a leaderโ€™s drive for power as a simple career goal. The reality is far more foundationalโ€”and more complex.

Angellah Brayshaw and I had the distinct privilege of donating a full day to the brilliant First Responder Peer Support Team from Medavie Health Services.๐Ÿš‘ ๐Ÿš‘ ๐Ÿš‘

Grateful to Russell Grant & Davis Roach for the big part they played in getting us there ๐Ÿ™

This wasn't just a training session; it was a collaborative deep-dive into the why of trauma-informed, and neuro-sensitive peer support. The energy and commitment this group brought to the table were truly inspiring.

Every day, this team gives full excellenceโ€”they are the first to arrive at a health crisis, the last to care for a patient before admission in the ER, and they navigate immense pressures and repetitive calls.

Their physical, cognitive, and psychological output include the massive balance of the needs of suffering families and the psychological safety of their teammate Responders.

The tally of their load includes the cycle of repeat clients who are struggling to find a way out of a health-crisis spiral.

Our Medics give it all... and this Peer Support Team is carrying the ball to provide support so they can all get some of it back. ๐Ÿš‘

This team is always seeking to improve themselves so they can be part of improving humans.

Angellah and I love and respect this Crew of Peer Supporters and are grateful for the fantastic day we spent together.

Below are some of their kind thoughts on our recent training:

โœ… 100% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the training was a good use of their time.

โœ… 100% said they learned practical and applicable tools. โœ… 100% would recommend this training to others.

It is an incredibly rewarding experience to provide practical tools that will support those supporting our community heroes.

A massive thank you to the Medavie Peer Support Team for their vulnerability, insight, and tireless service.

You're going to want to listen in folks to hear from@Saskpeersupport about how much value there is in peers supporting each other. In the workplace, in communities, and in life ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ™

Honoured to be joining The Evan Bray Show this Monday morning at 10:00 am to talk about peer support across Saskatchewan.

Ever feel like your internal "Stress Potency Gauge" is running on high? ๐Ÿ“ˆ
Itโ€™s so important to take a moment and honestly assess where youโ€™re at on that dial. Persistent high stress keeps our system charged, affecting everything from our body systems to our central nervous system. We deserve to feel a sense of calm and nudge ourselves out of alarm mode.
Check in with yourself today. Where is your needle pointing? Take one micro- step now to move it back toward "Moderate" or "Total Chill." And then pause...no pressure to do anything more for now๐Ÿ™

And when people feel safe enough to find the warmth of vulnerable instead of the burn they often expect, we build safer communities, stronger families, and deeper friendships.
Over the last two decades, I have had the honor of walking innumerable leaders, groups, and individuals through these exact concepts. The goal is always to turn fear into understanding and shift the perspective from "crisis management" to "community resilience.

Leaders never regret bringing this to their team: This session was a keynote designed to inspire and shift mindsets, but it also is the foundation for a deep-dive half-day workshop on Prevention, Intervention, and Awareness.

If youโ€™re ready to "step towards resilience" in your own organization or community, letโ€™s start the conversation.
