Mental Health First Aid 2 Day Youth (Day1)

The Mental Health First Aid Youth (England) two-day course qualifies you as a Youth Mental Health First Aider. Youth Mental Health First Aiders have:

• an in-depth understanding of young people’s mental health and factors that affect wellbeing;

• practical skills to spot triggers and signs of mental health issues;

• confidence to reassure and support a young person in distress;

• enhanced personal skills such as non-judgemental listening;

• knowledge to help a young person recover their health by guiding them to further support, whether that’s through self-help sites, their place of learning, the NHS, or a mix, engaging with parents, carers and external agencies where appropriate;
