Why Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA)?

YMHFA teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use challenges among children and adolescents ages 6-18. This training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use problem and help connect them to the appropriate care.

The course will teach you how to apply the ALGEE action plan:

* Assess for risk of suicide or harm.

* Listen nonjudgmentally.

* Give reassurance and information.

*Encourage appropriate professional help.

* Encourage self-help and other support strategies

LUNCH IS ON YOUR OWN.
