What is Youth Mental Health First Aid?
The Youth Mental Health First Aid course will provide you with the skills and confidence to assist young people aged 11 to 18, who may be
experiencing a mental health challenge or mental health crisis, until the crisis resolves or professional help is accessed, using a practical evidence-based action plan.
Who is this course for?
Anyone who wants to learn how to recognise warning signs of mental ill health in our youth, and develop the skills and confidence to approach and support them keeping yourself safe.
This course trains you as a Youth Mental Health First Aider. You will learn how to:
- Understand the mental health challenges young people experience.
- Source options for treatments and provide helpful first aid strategies.
- Be confident to offer MHFA, enabling early access to help.
- Apply the ALGEE - the five step action plan.
How does the face to face learning work?
