Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach neighbors, teachers, parents, peers, and caring adults how to help a youth or teen who is experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or is in crisis. The course discusses mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and provides guidance through the ALGEE action plan for both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, and disorders in which psychosis may occur.
