Youth Mental Health First Aid
April 14, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial help to young people showing signs of a mental illness or in a crisis and connect them with the appropriate professional, peer, social or self-help care. It will review the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents ages 12-18. It emphasizes the importance of early intervention and covers how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge.
This course is ideally designed for adults who work with young people, ages 12-18 – teachers, coaches, leaders of faith communities, social workers and other caring citizens. College Students and High School Seniors are also encouraged to take the course.
The next session will be a two-part series to be held on: April 12, 5:30-7:30pm and April 14, 9am-3pm.
You must attend both sessions to complete the course.
