What the course covers
Youth Mental Health First Aid is an education course that teaches adults about adolescent development and the signs and symptoms of common and disabling mental health problems in young people, including crisis situations.
Topics covered include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, substance use disorders, and suicidal thoughts and behaviours.
Your team will learn how and where to get help when a young person is developing a mental illness, what research has shown to be effective and how to provide first aid in crisis situations.
