Natural Supports Simulation - United Way Alberta Capital Region

Self-Paced TrainingLocal Free/Low-Cost
Written By Wesley Jones

A Natural Support mindset is built upon 8 skills that can support a child or youth experiencing a mental health concern.

The simulation lasts about 15-25 minutes. Once started, you can leave the simulation at any time and we’ll save your spot.

  • Pick a role - Unique scenarios are available for 3 main support roles in a youth’s life: Parent or Caregiver, Teacher or Coach, and Friend or Relative.

  • Pick an area of concern - Each youth represents a mental health concern. You can repeat the simulation as many times as you like to explore multiple roles and concerns.

  • Give honest answers - Provide honest responses that reflect your interactions with youth so you can learn which skills and resources you need.

  • Get resources and support - The outcomes of this simulation will help you prepare and strengthen your skills as a Natural Support.
