Youth Mental Health First Aid

Youth 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 course requires advanced registration. Participants must complete 2-hours of self-paced training before the course date.
