The Youth Mental Health First Aid course will teach you how to better assist and support young people who may be experiencing a mental health problem or are in a mental health crisis.
Over two days, you’ll learn the signs and symptoms of mental health problems, how and where to get help, and what sort of help has been shown by research to be effective.
Topics will include depression, anxiety, psychosis, eating disorders, substance use, suicide and more.
