Youth Mental Health First Aid Course - 1 Day
Length: One day
Certification: Youth Mental Heath First Aid Training Course
1 Day Youth Mental Health First Aid Courses are for anyone who works, lives or supports young people aged 8-18 – such as school staff and youth workers.
What you will learn on our 1-day Youth First Aid for Mental Health awareness courses:
- To have the confidence and knowledge to spot symptoms of mental ill health in a young person.
- The ability to offer support and guidance to a young person towards the help they require.
- How to recognise mental health problems and help with early intervention, thereby undertaking to stop a mental health issue from deteriorating.
- Suggestions to decrease the stigma surrounding mental health through education and awareness.
This course will not make you a therapist but it will prepare you to offer reassuring support and guidance when a young person needs it most.
The course should also give you the skills to manage your own mental well-being, enabling you to set an example of a healthy mental environment for young people.
