DESCRIPTION:<h3>Youth Mental Health First Aid</h3> <h5>One in five American youth experiences a serious mental health challenge each year.</h5> Half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin prior to age 14. You can help someone get the help they need—you may even save a life—by simply asking, “Is everything okay?” <strong>Youth Mental Health First Aid in Topeka (YMHFA)</strong> is a one-day training that teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among kids and adolescents ages 12-18. <strong>Who should know about YMHFA?</strong> Teachers, school staff, coaches, camp counselors, youth group leaders, parents and any adult who works with youth would benefit from this course. <strong>The course covers:</strong> <ul> <li>Common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges in this age group, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)</li> <li>Common signs and symptoms of substance use challenges.</li> <li>How to interact with a child or teen in crisis.</li> <li>How to connect the youth with help.</li> </ul> YMHFA will be offered in a blended format. There will be 2 hours of self-paced online learning prior to the class and approximately 5.5 hours of in-person training.
