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.
