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
