Mental Health First Aid for Youth

This workshop is in-person only, with 2 hours of online pre-work.

Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. This training is designed to teach family members, teachers, school staff, neighbors, youth pastors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (ages 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addiction challenge or crisis.

During this training, you will:

• Identify common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and ADHD
• Recognize common signs and symptoms of substance use challenges
• Learn how to interact with a child or adolescent in crisis and connect them with help
• Be introduced to expanded content on trauma, substance use, self-care, and the impact of social media and bullying

Prior to class, participants are required to complete a 2 hour course online. A link for this pre-work course will be sent when your registration form is received. For questions and information about CEU’s, please contact Lisa Basci (BasciL@csgonline.org)
