Youth Mental Health First Aid is a nationally recognized
certification designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers,
teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services
workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age

is in crisis. 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 ADHD),
and eating disorders.
This is a fully in-person course
and lasts approximately 8 hours, including breaks. Lunch will be
provided.
This course is open to both GSSA Volunteers and
Community Members. Min 5/Max 15. This class may count toward Continued
