Youth Mental Health First Aid
The Youth Mental Health First Aid Course has been designed for adults who work, live and/or care for adolescents, such as school staff, parents, sports coaches, community group leaders, and youth workers.
Course participants will learn how to support and assist a young person who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence-based action plan.
Evidence tells us that a young person is more likely to seek help if it is suggested by someone that they know and trust and by participating in one of our courses, you can make a difference in the lives of young people
