Mental Health First Aid Training

Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of
mental illness and substance use disorders in youth. This training gives adults who interact
with youth the skills they need to reach out and provide initial support to children and adolescents
(ages 6-18) who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect
them to the appropriate care.

After training, you will be able to:

• Recognize common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges
• Recognize common signs and symptoms of substance use challenges
• Understand how to interact with a person in crisis
• Know how to connect a person with help
• Use self-care tools and techniques
