About Dan’s Legacy’s Job-Skills Training Programs

The instructors, supported by Dan’s Legacy’s counselling and outreach teams, work with a cohort of young adult students with various mental health challenges. Training is provided by the counselling team to develop competency and confidence in working with this cohort of youth.
