Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders in youth.
This 5.5-hour in person training gives adults who work and interact with youth the skills they need to reach out and provide initial support to children and adolescents (ages 12-18) who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to the appropriate care.
