Supporting Youth mental health first aid
This course is designed for members of the public who interact with youth, ages 12-24 years-old, although its learning outcomes are applicable to all ages. This course is most relevant for situations when it is first becoming apparent to an adult that a young person in their family, classroom, or other network is developing a mental health problem. The course also provides some general information on how to assist a young person who has a history of a mental illness or longer-term mental health and/or substance use problems, as well as how to support a young person in crisis.
Details: 10-hours (2-hours self-guided online; 8-hours facilitated learning in-person or virtually); manual is available online.
Suited for: adults who are more focused on learning about intervention strategies than on the details of mental health conditions, and enjoy a hybrid (or fully online) learning opportunity.
