This document describes a study undertaken to evaluate the impact of using simulation to educate police officers about mental illness and about how to respond effectively to common critical incidents involving mentally ill persons. The study involved focus groups, surveys, and a scale that measures opinions about mental illness.
The purpose of this study was to discover strategies for encouraging adult francophones with poor literacy skills to articulate a need for literacy training and strategies that education centres can use to answer that need adequately.
Hosted by WWestnet, the Integrating Essential Skills into Training Materials workshop held in Yellowknife, NW in May 2006, combined hands-on sessions with presentations and networking opportunities.
