About this event
About 1 in 4 young Australians experience a common mental illness each year. The Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) training is delivered by a qualified instructor who will teach you how to provide initial help to a person who is developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of an existing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate professional help is received, or the crisis resolves. Make a real difference to the young people in your community.
LEARN PRACTICAL FIRST AID SKILLS
Recognise common mental health problems in young people
Provide initial help using a practical, evidence-based Action Plan
Seek appropriate professional help, and
Respond in a crisis situation
This is a 14-hour educational course, designed to teach people the skills to give first aid to others, it is not a therapy or support group. This training will be delivered on 1st & 2nd December between 8.30am-4pm and is open for any parents and carers who have children enrolled in an Archdiocean Western Region Catholic School.
It is important that participants commit to attending both sessions in order to complete the course requirements and obtain their Mental Health First Aid accreditation.
