Mental Health First Aid Supporting Youth


Course Overview

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the help provided to a person who is showing signs of declining mental well-being or crisis. MHFA – Supporting Youth is a course designed for members of the public who have frequent contact with young people (ages 12 to 24).

This course is most relevant in situations when it is first becoming apparent to an adult that a young person in their family, classroom, or other network is developing a mental health problem. However, the course also provides some useful information on how to assist a young person who has a history of a mental illness or longer-term mental health and/or substance use problems, as well as how to support a young person in crisis.
