Free certificate class on Youth Mental Health First Aid. You will learn how to recognize, understand, and respond to signs of mental health or substance use challenges in youth, and how to offer the first level of support. Mental Health First Aiders are neighbors, parents, grandparents, friends, parish leaders, and co-workers. The class and all the training materials are free. Everyone is welcome to attend (over the age of 18).

Youth Mental Health First Aid focuses specifically on helping youth who are experiencing mental health challenges, disorders, and crises. The training is not designed to teach you how to diagnose or treat – but it WILL give you the tools to recognize signs and symptoms of mental health challenges in our youth and help them get the support and services they need for recovery.
