Youth Mental Health First Aid is a nationally accredited training program that teaches adults how to recognise the signs of mental health problems in young people, start a supportive conversation, and connect them with professional help early. This course is fundamental for a parent, teacher, youth worker, employer, sports coaches... simply, any adult who supports a young person!

Similar to how physical first aid helps someone with an injury, mental health first aid helps someone who may be developing a mental health problem or experiencing a crisis.

Topics covered include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, substance use disorders, and suicidal thoughts and behaviours.

You will learn how and where to get help when a young person is developing a mental illness, what help research has shown to be effective and how to provide first aid in crisis situations.
