What You Learn

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens on how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health challenge. 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:

  • Depression and mood disorders
  • Anxiety disorders
