Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who
regularly interact with young people. The course introduces common
mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent
development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young
people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered
include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which
psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD),
and eating disorders.
This blended learning course includes an
online portion (approximately 2 hours), an instructor-led classroom
skills session (approximately 5 hours) and an online evaluation to be
taken after the instructor-led session. The online portion must be
completed before attending the in-class portion and the post work must
be completed within 10 days of completing the in-class portion. Girl
members who are at least 18 years of age at the time of the training
can attend this program.
