The Youth Mental Health First Aid course equips adults who teach, care for and support young people with the skills and confidence needed to recognise and respond to a young person experiencing a mental health problem or crisis.
Developed for adults to support young people aged 12-18, Youth Mental Health First Aid training teaches participants how to provide initial support to a young person who may be experiencing a mental health problem, or mental health crisis, until professional help is received or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence-based Action Plan.
Topics covered include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance Use Disorder
- Eating Disorders
- Panic Attacks
- Suicidal thoughts and behaviour.
The course will be delivered as a blended course and consists of a self-paced eLearning component (approximately 4 hours) followed by one day face-to-face session on Monday 17 April, Magpies Waitara Club, 11-37 Alexandria Parade, Waitara
