Youth Mental Health First Aid

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach people how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.

This class is sponsored by the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Centerstone’s SAMHSA LGBTQI+ Family Support Program Grant and is offered at no charge to participants. Space is limited and registration is required.

Our clinic has three dates available: January 26, 2024, February 23, 2024, and March 29, 2024. Each class will run from 8am to 5pm ET at the Cohen Clinic in Fayetteville.
