Youth Mental Health First Aid

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 8-hour 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
