TNYF Training and N’Dinawemak partner to create a cycle of giving back

TNYF Training has established a long-term partnership with N’Dinawemak – Our Relatives Place to provide critical training courses for N’Dinawemak staff, helping them in their mission to support individuals experiencing homelessness and facing mental health challenges, addiction, and other life difficulties. As an overnight emergency shelter, N’Dinawemak staff frequently handle medical emergencies and crises, making the First Aid Basics, WHMIS, Psychological First Aid, and ASIST Suicide Prevention First Aid courses TNYF Training teaches essential, live-saving knowledge. TNYF Training’s interactive and hands-on training approach also ensures participants understand important concepts and are actively involved in the learning process.

With a shared mission to uplift Manitobans, the partnership creates a cycle of giving back for both organizations. All of TNYF Training’s proceeds are reinvested into Manitoba youth through the True North Youth Foundation and its core programs, aligning with N’Dinawemak’s commitment to investing in the local community. TNYF Training also gives back, offering a First Aid course at no cost to N’Dinawemak’s shelter visitors, giving them the skills to be able to assist fellow neighbours experiencing a medical emergency before a staff member or first responder arrives.

“By partnering with CM Training, we get to provide our staff with essential training courses while reinvesting back into the community through the True North Youth Foundation. With 50 percent of our staff coming from one of our shelter beds, CM Training meets them where they’re at and makes sure they grasp what they’re being trained.” – Nicholas Candaele, Director of Development at N’Dinawemak
