LEAP Training

Do you have a family member with a serious mental illness and isn’t willing to accept treatment? If so, then LEAP can help.

LEAP® (Listen-Empathize-Agree-Partner) courses are for family members or caregivers of someone experiencing psychosis (hallucinations and/or delusions) and isn’t aware of having a mental illness. Developed by Dr. Xavier Amador, author of I am not Sick, I don’t Need Help, LEAP can help improve or repair your relationship and get your loved one to accept treatment.

The next courses will be held:

• Saturday September 24th, 9:00AM to 3:30PM (in-person in Edmonton)
• Monday evenings November 7th-21st, 7:00PM to 9:00PM (Held via Zoom)
• Saturday November 26th, 9:00AM to 3:30PM (in-person in Edmonton)
