WHAT IS IT? An 8-hour interactive course reviews the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in adolescents while emphasizing the importance of early intervention and how to help an adolescent in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. Topics covered include: anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders. Adult participants will learn a 5-step action plan encompassing the skills, resources and knowledge to help an individual in crisis connect with appropriate professional help and/or community resources.

Hello my name is James,
I was wondering how would I go about registering for the Youth Mental Health first Aid training? I am currently working with high school students within a local high school.
You can email me at Jhopkins@puhsd.k12.ca.us, thank you!
