Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders including AD/HD, and eating disorders. By the end of Part I of the course, participants will be able to: Describe the purpose of Youth Mental Health First Aid and the role of the Youth Mental Health First Aider. Recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges that may impact youth. Explain the impact of traumatic experiences and the role of resilience on adolescent development. Apply the appropriate steps of the YMHFA Action Plan (ALGEE) to non-crisis situations. Participants will be expected to complete the coursework in order to receive their official 3 year-credential from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
