Mental Health First Aid Training |
Youth Mental First Aid is designed to teach any caring adult how to identify and assist an adolescent
(ages 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health and/or substance-use challenge. Participants are introduced to a 5-Step action plan to help young people in both crisis
and non-crisis situations. 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 for how to help
young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur,
disruptive behavior disorders (including ADHD), and eating disorders.
Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based, early intervention public education program. It teaches adults how to recognize the signs and symptoms that
suggest a potential mental health and/or substance use challenge, how to listen non-judgmentally and give reassurance to a person who may be experiencing a
mental health and/or substance use challenge, and how to refer a person to appropriate professional support and services. |
