What is Youth Mental Health First Aid?
Youth Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based training course designed to give members of the public key skills to help an adolescent who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The 8-hour course covers a range of common disorders and potential crises such as helping a young person who is having a panic attack, contemplating suicide or struggling with substance abuse.

Who should take a Youth Mental Health First Aid course?
This course is designed for adults who work with or are around youth ages 12-18 on a regular basis including (but not limited to): teachers, coaches, juvenile probation officers, youth program and school staff, clergy, parents, health and human service providers and more. Training is for individuals who do not have any background as a mental health professional.
OBJECTIVES—Participants will learn:
- To understand the prevalence of various mental health disorders impacting youth and the need for reduced stigma in communities
- To recognize the warning signs of mental health problems that may impact youth
- To understand the risk and protective factors that can impact a youth’s mental health and resiliency
- To apply a five-step action plan encompassing the skills, resources, and knowledge to assess the situation; to select and implement appropriate interventions; and to help the youth in crisis connect with appropriate, evidence-based treatment and supports
- To identify and access the community resources available to support youth and their families
