$369.00

Youth Mental Health First Aid Course (online)

This online Youth MHFA course 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.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this course you will learn how to:

  • Mental health problems amongst the youth of Australia
  • Recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health problems in young people
  • Use an evidence-based action plan to initiate a mental health first-aid conversation
  • Assess for a range of crisis situations and provide initial support
  • Understand the prevalence and impact of mental illnesses, risk factors and treatments and supports available
  • Distinguish between normal and expected changes during adolescence and development of mental health problems
  • Understand the scope of the Mental Health First Aider role and the medical rights of minors
  • Apply self-care practices as a Mental Health First Aider

Who should attend Youth MHFA?

Professionals and members of the community at large have all found great value in MHFA over the years. The youth course is specifically targeted towards adults working with young people in the community. This includes teachers, case managers, youth workers, nurses, physicians, mental health professionals, pharmacists, counsellors, police, first responders, correctional staff, school support staff, clergy, and volunteers who have all found that Youth MHFA complements their existing training and knowledge. Other people attend simply because they want to help someone in need, in much the same way they might learn physical first aid. Because the training is comprehensive and does not rely on prior qualifications, anyone can have the same meaningful experience as a professional caregiver.
