Youth Mental Health First Aid Course: Session 1
March 25, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 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. This 8-hour course is typically scheduled twice a year.

Monday, March 25th from 6:30-8:30pm
Tuesday, March 26th from 6:30-8:30pm
