Youth Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training that teaches parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors and health and human services workers and any other citizen how to identify, understand and respond to an adolescent (ages 12-18) who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. Mental Health First Aid training gives you the skills to act. You’ll be able to spot the signs that someone might be struggling and use proven strategies to help them.
