Youth Mental Health First Aid is a public education program focused on equipping adults who work with youth who may be experiencing a mental health challenge or in a crisis. Similar to traditional First Aid and CPR, Youth Mental Health First Aid is providing help to a youth with a mental health problem or a youth experiencing a crisis until professional treatment is obtained or until the crisis is resolved.

WHAT WILL PARTICIPANTS LEARN?
The course teaches participants the risk factors and warning signs of a variety of mental health challenges common among adolescents, including anxiety, depression, psychosis, eating disorders, AD/HD, disruptive behavior disorders, and substance use disorder.

Participants do not learn to diagnose, nor how to provide any therapy or counseling.

Participants learn a core five-step action plan to support an adolescent developing signs and symptoms of mental illness or in an emotional crisis:

  • Assess for risk of suicide or harm
  • Listen nonjudgmentally
  • Give reassurance and information
  • Encourage appropriate professional help
  • Encourage self-help and other support strategies

WHO SHOULD TAKE THE COURSE? The course is designed for adults who regularly interact with adolescents (teachers, school staff, coaches, youth group leaders, parents, law enforcement, community members, etc.)

*Attendance for the full duration (8 hours) is required. 

*Cost: $20 /  Lunch is Included
