Youth Mental Health First Aid Training

Youth Mental Health First Aid Training: July 25 & 26, 2023 8 am-12 noon

• Dr. Marci Waldron Kuhn facilitates this two-day Youth Mental Health First Aid Training.
• This event is appropriate for classroom teachers, special education teachers, paraprofessionals, school administrators, parents, coaches, and any adults working with teens. 
• There is no charge for this event: It is sponsored by the Family & Friends of Samuel Timm. 

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan to help young people in crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.
