Youth Mental Health First Aid Training
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.
The Virtual MHFA training is comprised of two sessions - a 2 hour online self-paced session, followed by a 4.5 hour instructor-led training. All participants MUST complete the self-paced online training before being allowed in to the instructor-led training. The training date listed is for the instructor-led training.
