Mental Health First Aid USA is an evidence-based training that teaches participants how to identify, understand and respond to someone who is experiencing a mental health or substance-use challenge.
Why is mental health literacy important? What people in a parish know and believe about mental illness will have a direct impact on a parish’s ability to minister. Youth mental health first aid teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among children and adolescents ages 12 to 18.
