Youth Mental Health First Aid NEW


Youth Programs / Youth Enrichment -
Adult Winter/Spring 2025

“Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, coaches, Youth Group Leaders, Camp Counselors, Adults who work with Youth, school staff, peers, neighbors, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. 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.

Testimonials: “As adults, we sometimes forget how hard it was being an adolescent. When we see a kid who is just miserable at school, we might think they choose to be that way – or that it’s just part of adolescence. But in fact, they might be in a mental health crisis, one they certainly did not choose and do not want. When a teacher says, ‘How can I be helpful?’ that is a powerful question.” –Alyssa Fruchtenicht, School-Based Mental Health Counselor
