Youth Mental Health First Aid Training
March 27, 2015, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
$5Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a national best-practice, evidence-based certification course that is eight hours in length and leads to a three-year certification issued by the National Council on Behavioral Health. By design, it is intended to mirror the idea of regular first aid to empowering individuals with just enough information to respond and help guide youth and teens (aged 12-18) who are facing challenges with mental illness and substance abuse, or who are in crisis. The training is for anyone who comes into contact with youth, including bus drivers, teachers, school janitors, as well as parents and relatives. Because of grant funding, the cost of this class is only $5.00. Sponsored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
