learn to support young people
Youth Mental Health First Aid courses are for everyone who works with, lives with or supports young people aged 8-18. They will teach you the skills and confidence to spot the signs of mental health issues in a young person, offer first aid and guide them towards the support they need. In doing so, you can speed up a young person's recovery and stop a mental health issue from getting worse.
YOU WILL NOT BE TAUGHT TO BE A THERAPIST, but you will learn to listen, reassure and respond- even in a crisis or preventing one from happening.
You will also acquire the knowledge and skills to look after your own mental health so that you can set an example for young people. By giving you the tools to have these conversations, we hope to empower you to create a mentally healthy, supportive environment in your family, school, peer group or community.
