Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis.

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, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.

This workshop is being offered for free and lunch will be provided

How to Help A Friend Youth Suicide Prevention program provides youth with key skills to help themselves or peers who may be in need.  In the 2018/2019 school year, close to 1500 students in the valley received this training. The community also received training related to stress, depression, anxiety, and suicide prevention.

 

“The youth suicide training taught me not only how to help others in their time of need, but how to be a more complete person. I learned compassion, selflessness, and, most importantly, empathy; we are all human, and it is our job to support one another.”

 

During World Suicide Prevention week, September 8-14, you can help prevent suicide by making a donation today. Your donation will help us continue and grow our How to Help A Friend Suicide Prevention Training.  Your gift to the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network will help save lives.
