YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID WHY YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID? As adults, we sometimes forget how hard it was being an adolescent. When we see a kid who is just miserable at school, we might think they choose to be that way — or that it’s just part of adolescence. But in fact, they might be in a mental health crisis, one they certainly did not choose and do not want. When a teacher says, ‘How can I be helpful?’ that is a powerful question.” — Alyssa Fruchtenicht, school-based mental health counselor
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 6.5-hour training gives adults who work 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.
of youth with major depression do not receive any mental health treatment.
of youth report having a substance use or alcohol problem.
teens and young adults lives with a mental health condition.
