Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training course that teaches participants about mental health and substance-use challenges.      

This training gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to a young person who may be developing a mental health or substance use challenge and help connect them to the appropriate care.      

The course will teach you how to apply the ALGEE action plan:

• Assess for risk of suicide or harm       
• Listen non-judgmentally       
• Give reassurance and information       
• Encourage appropriate professional help       
• Encourage self-help and other support strategies       

The cost is covered by the USDA NIFA grant to allow for no cost to the participant.
