One in five youth ages 13 to 18 lives with a mental health condition.

That means in a class of 25, five students are impacted. That’s why it’s so important for all adults interacting with youth to take Youth Mental Health First Aid. This is an 8-hour course that teaches participants how to help adolescents experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge.

Having more informed adults can dramatically help early intervention efforts and get youth the help they need when they need it.

 

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

• Assess for risk of suicide or harm

• Listen nonjudgmentally

• Give reassurance and information

• Encourage appropriate professional help

• Encourage self-help and other support strategies
