Live4Life Ballarat Youth Mental Health First Aid Training

Live4Life Ballarat is hosting a Youth Mental Health First Aid course on 1st December. This course complements the Teen Mental Health First Aid education that is being rolled out across our 10 participating secondary schools and is part of the broader Live4Life Ballarat initiative. Adults who undertake the Youth Mental Health First Aid training course will have a better understanding of common mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders and psychosis. This course also teaches adults to learn how to identify the signs and symptoms of a developing mental health problem in a young person, how to have a conversation with them when they are in distress or crisis, and how to support them in receiving professional help.

This is a blended course which includes a self-paced eLearning component (approx. 4hrs), completed prior to the 1-day in-person session. 

* Please note: this course is subject to participant numbers, if there are not enough participants for this session to run, we will place you into our next available course. 

Cost: $30pp to cover course materials + morning tea
