This 4-hour training course is ideal for teens who want to better understand or support a friend or any other teenager struggling with their mental and emotional health.
Half of all mental health conditions start by age 14, but most cases remain undetected and untreated for approximately 8 to 10 years due to lack of awareness and stigma. This is leading to a global epidemic of poor mental health.
Depression is the leading cause of illness and disability amongst teens, and suicide being the 3rd leading cause of death amongst teens aged 15 to 19 years old. (National Institute of Mental Health: www.nihm.nih.gov)
This program recognizes that teenagers prefer sharing their problems with their friends. It empowers teens to learn the skills to help someone who is becoming unwell, is currently struggling, or is experiencing a mental health crisis. Mental Health First Aid is the equivalent to physical first-aid training, but for mental health.
