Virtual PD - Youth Mental Health First Aid
Blended Course






This course teaches the participants the risk factors and warning signs of a variety of mental health challenges common among adolescents including depression, anxiety, psychosis, eating disorders, AD/HD, disruptive behavior disorders and substance use disorder.

Important Session Information:


Many times, signs of deteriorating mental health are noticeable well before a mental health illness emerges.  Early mental health prevention and intervention has been shown to support better outcomes for youth and their families.  Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches adults how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health challenges among children and adolescents ages 12-18.  This course is evidence-based and satisfies HB 3 for mental health training for school staff.  Youth Mental Health First Aid also satisfies the mental health training requirement of the District Vulnerability Assessment.

NOTE:  This Blended Course includes 2 hours of self-paced, online pre-work that must be competed prior to attending the 5-hour in-person portion of the class held at Region 8 ESC.
