Youth Mental Health First Aid

Adolescence is a time of important change and development. It is also a time when mental health challenges tend to emerge.

 

The Youth Mental Health First Aid course teaches adults how to provide initial support to young people who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis. The course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals. Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, Youth MHFA teaches participants how to support an adolescent until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves.

 

Youth MHFA will teach you how to provide mental health first aid for:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Panic attacks
  • Eating disorders
  • Substance use problems
  • Psychosis
  • Severe effects of drug or alcohol use
  • Severe psychotic states
  • Traumatic events
  • Non-suicidal self-injury
  • Suicidal thoughts and behaviours

Course participants receive a hard copy of the Youth MHFA Manual to keep and a Certificate of Completion.
