Our Approach
Transforming Communities
We know that being part of a greater community can have a significant impact on mental health. We help people strengthen their sense of purpose and belonging, so they can both contribute to and rely upon their communities and greater networks.
Ending Stigma
In Canada, 60 per cent of people with a mental health problem or illness won’t seek help for fear of being labelled. We help our participants overcome stigma by identifying what mental health discrimination looks like and teaching them the best steps for combatting it.
Creating Hope
Hope is an integral part of mental health and addiction recovery. Hope is the belief that something better will come. It is what motivates us to push forward. Thus, teaching others how to inspire hope—both within themselves and others—is a core component of the work we do.
Meet the Trainer
Founder and Director of Catalyst Mental Health
I’m Jenan Nasserdeen, Founder and Director of Catalyst Mental Health.
In 2015, I created Catalyst Mental Health as a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor. I am passionate about educating and empowering individuals, groups, and communities on the importance of mental health and wellness. I want to bring awareness to the impact of mental health, equipping you, the participant, with tools to become confident allies to those who may be struggling.
As a Child and Youth Counsellor, I have over 20 years of experience working with some of Alberta’s most vulnerable population. I hold certifications in Trauma Informed Care training, First Aid, Applied Suicide Intervention Training (ASIST) and Verbal Crisis De-escalation.
Together, we can become catalysts for change and create positive mental well-being for all Canadians.
What People Say About Catalyst Mental Health
(Child and Family Services)
“One of the best courses I have ever taken! Not only did I learn a lot & have my eyes opened, I was challenged personally regarding thoughts and stigmas.
The instructors passion & sincerity regarding the topic was a huge benefit which helped underscore the importance of the material and also our new role in the awareness & helping path.”
(Office of Child youth Advocate)
“Best training delivery I have ever experienced in 25 years of social work! Jenan was engaging, enthusiastic and interesting. She made you feel like you were the most special person in the world. Alyssa’s efforts behind the scenes made the entire thing work like clockwork. Exceptionally professional.”
(ATCO)
I’ve been working with Catalyst for nearly two years bringing MHFA to ATCO employees. After most classes, I receive phone calls and emails by attendees boasting about how “Jenan’s classes and her facilitation style. And I couldn’t agree more! I took MHFA with CTS over a year ago and it is still one of my favourite mental health courses. Jenan has this magical ability to bring course material off the page in a fun and retainable way.”
