Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. 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, nonsuicidal self-injury, suicide, substance use, trauma-related disorders, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorders, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and eating disorders.
