Youth Mental Health First Aid® - Hybrid delivery
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. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.
This course is offered in a hybrid format. Participants must complete approximately 2 hours of self-paced pre-work before the instructor-led session on December 18. (Please note: Pre-work must be completed by December 12 at 5 p.m. Failure to do so will require you to attend the instructor-led portion of the training at a later date, delaying your certification) The instructor-led session will run approximately 5.5 hours, including breaks. The course fee is $150.
