Youth Mental Health First Aid USA is an 8 hour public education program
which introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs
of mental health problems in adolescents, builds understanding of the
importance of early intervention, and teaches individuals how to help an
adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. Mental
Health First Aid uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to
assess a mental health crisis; select interventions and provide initial
help; and connect young people to professional, peer, social, and self-help
care. WHAT WILL PARTICIPANTS LEARN? The course teaches participants the
risk factors and warning signs of a variety of mental health challenges
common among adolescents, including anxiety, depression, psychosis, eating
disorders, AD/HD, disruptive behavior disorders, and substance use
disorder. Participants learn to support a 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 WHO
SHOULD TAKE THE COURSE? The course is designed for adults who regularly
interact with adolescents (teachers, school staff, coaches, youth group
leaders, parents, parole officers, etc.).
