Youth Mental Health First Aid (Multi-Day)
The NYC Department of Health is offering free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training to all New Yorkers.
Register online at: https://morningsideheights.timetap.com
This training will take place in person at Morningside Heights Library.
This course is designed for adults who regularly interact with adolescents (ages 12 to 18), including:
• Parents and other family
• Caregivers
• Teachers and school staff
• Neighbors
• Health and human services workers
The course covers common mental health challenges for youth as they go through adolescence. Participants will learn a five-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. The course will show you how to help an adolescent experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Substance abuse, Psychosis and/or Disruptive behavior disorders.
The 2 certifications we offer are Adult and Youth. Everyone taking the course must be at least 17 years
old, so the Youth certification isn’t for young people, but for adults who work with young people, or just
want to understand how Mental Health issues may present themselves in adolescents.
In partnership with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
- Audience: Adults, College & Graduate Students, Families, Parents/Caregivers, Young Adults/Pre GED (16-24 years)
