Youth Mental Health First Aid Awareness

Youth Mental Health Aware is an introductory session and is aimed at anyone, over the age of 16, who is working or living with young people aged 8-18 or thereabouts.

It is part of the internationally recognised and evidence based MHFA England portfolio of training programmes and is designed to give an understanding of some of the common mental health issues affecting young people and the confidence to start conversations with young people about mental health and to support a young person in distress or who may be experiencing a mental health issue.
