Youth Mental Health First Aid – Equips adults who teach, care for, or support young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to recognise, understand and respond to a young person experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis. YMHFA teaches you to:
- Intervene early
- Offer appropriate support
- Respond in a crisis
- Reduce stigma
YMHFA has been recognised by Suicide Prevention Australia as a safe, high-quality, and effective suicide prevention program and is an important professional development opportunity for any professional who works with young people, and parents of teens who are looking for more information on supporting their child.
