Event Description
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-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.This course will run 9:00 am - 3:30 pm. There will be two and a half hours worth of pre-work before the online workshop. This course is limited to 20. We will take a waitlist.
