Mental Health First Aid is a training that teaches you how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use crisis. Just like CPR helps you assist someone having a medical emergency, Mental Health First Aid gives you the tools to support someone experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges.

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, 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.

You’ll learn how to:

• Spot warning signs of a mental health crisis

• Listen without judgment

• Offer support and reassurance

• Connect someone to the help they need

This training is perfect for anyone who wants to be a caring and informed support in their community. No prior experience needed!
