Hi, I'm Disha Mehta.
BPH · CAPM® · Certified MHFA Facilitator · TEND Academy Compassion Fatigue Trainer · Founder, HumanWell Consulting · Greater Toronto Area, Ontario
I'm a public health professional, a Certified Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Facilitator through Opening Minds, and a TEND Academy-trained compassion fatigue trainer. My background is in community and mental health: as Community Lead at ALS Canada, as an addictions case manager and counsellor at Punjabi Community Health Services, and in years of direct support work with newcomer youth and settlement teams. I hold a Bachelor of Public Health with a minor in Mental Health & Addictions and the CAPM® project management credential.
HumanWell Consulting grew out of that work. Sitting with people in distress — and then watching the staff who support them run out of room — made clear that teams need more than encouragement: they need practical skills, honest conversations about compassion fatigue, and programs designed for how the work actually happens. So I built HumanWell to do three things: deliver MHFA certification and evidence-informed workshops, facilitate the conversations organizations struggle to hold on their own, and help design training and programs that hold up in the real world.
