Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an early intervention public education program. It teaches adults how to recognize the signs and symptoms that suggest a potential mental health challenge, how to listen nonjudgmentally, give reassurance to a youth who may be experiencing a mental health challenge, and refer a person to appropriate professional support and services.

Upon completion, participants will have the ability to recognize certain behaviors and signs that could identify a mental health crisis within youth. Participants will not be able to diagnose or treat these disorders but act as a liaison to connect the young person to resources.

Please note: this is a 6-hour in-person training. A lunch break, as well as short breaks, are included. To receive the certificate of completion, participants must complete approximately two hours of self-paced online pre-work before the live training, attend the live training, and complete a short quiz and survey after the training.
