Volunteers: Sign up for Youth Mental Health Blended
Learning Class!
Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) is
skills-based training that teaches adults how to identify, understand,
and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use
challenge in adolescents and teens. Similar to physical First Aid and
CPR, YMHFA helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or
substance use crisis until professional assistance is obtained or the
crisis is resolved. Mental Health First Aiders learn a 5-step Action
Plan to recognize warning signs of a mental health or substance use
challenge, provide help in crisis and non-crisis situations, and
understand where to turn for additional assistance.
- Anyone who interacts with children or teens in a personal or professional setting would benefit from this training.
- This training is presented in a blended learning format. Participants complete a 2-hour online self-paced course prior to the online live, interactive training.
- The live portion of the training is from 9 am -3 pm, and will include breaks. Participants must attend the session in full to receive their certification.
- Youth Mental Health First Aid certification is valid for 3 years.
Note: Due to the interactive (and sometimes sensitive nature) of this training, all attendees must have camera and microphone for the live online training for safety purposes. Attendees are encouraged to join from a private space away from children, if possible. Please contact info@girlscoutstoday.org with questions.
