Young people may not realize that a current challenge might be related to mental health, or they feel embarrassed asking for support. That's why it's important for adults to learn how to support teens and offer help. In this Youth Mental Health First Aid training, you will learn a five-step action plan that will enable you to provide assistance to a teen until professional treatment is obtained or until a crisis is resolved. Completion of this course results in a three-year Youth Mental Health First Aid certificate from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing (www.thenationalcouncil.org)
You are REQUIRED to complete two hours of an online, self-paced introduction BEFORE the first session begins. These materials will be sent once your registration has been received.
This course is for adults only. Anyone age 18 or over who is registered as a Girl Scout Adult may participate.
Prework materials and a Zoom link will be sent prior to the program.
