Youth Mental Health First Aid aims to empower parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring individuals to support adolescents (ages 12-18) facing mental health or addiction challenges or crises.
Primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with youth, this course covers common mental health issues, typical adolescent development, and a 5-step action plan for assisting young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics include anxiety, depression, substance use, psychosis, disruptive behavior disorders (like ADHD), and eating disorders.
