Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)

Training & Certification

Because 50% of all life-time mental illnesses begin by the age of 14, and 75% by the age of 24, those who work with youth are in the ideal position to be the first ones to recognize a developing condition and play a part in changing a childs life trajectory!

Get empowered by learning everything you need to know to support struggling youth developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or in an emotional crisis by applying a core five-step action plan:

Assess for risk of suicide or harm

Listen nonjudgmentally

Give reassurance and information

Encourage appropriate professional help

Encourage self-help and other support strategies
