Youth Mental Health First Aid is an internationally recognized, evidence-based training that teaches the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders, and provides individuals with tools to respond to a mental health emergency until professional help arrives. This Youth curriculum provides action steps to take in order to help a young person experiencing the early signs of a mental health disorder. The training focuses on the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders that may affect youth ages twelve to seventeen, and is particularly designed for parents, teachers and caregivers of that age group.
With support from the Leonard and Helen R. Stulman Foundation this course is offered at a reduced fee of $15.00, to cover the cost of the training manual.
