While there are scheduled breaks, the days are quite long and people attending the training are expected to be present and participating for the duration. As with the Core Training, this event is recommended for people whose physical and mental health is at a place that they can fully participate.

> Whether or not you plan to sit on a board this training will be of great benefit. The topics, structure and curriculum content is applicable to other sectors and areas of your life. It should also be noted that in the 2018 calendar year PLDI will be holding a  Mental Health First Aid (MHFA). MHFA is the help provided to a person developing a mental health problem, experiencing the worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. Just like physical first aid is provided until medical treatment can be obtained, MHFA is given until appropriate support is found or until the crisis is resolved. Only Graduates who have completed at least two PLDI courses will be considered. If you have only one course and would like to take MHFA,  I would ask you to consider applying for this training.
