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.

• 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
