MHFA is an evidence-based, early-intervention course. Just as CPR helps you assist a person having a heart attack, MHFA teaches you how to assist someone who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. Youth MHFA focuses on ages 12-18.
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN THE COURSE?
The course introduces common mental health challenges, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan on how to help in both crisis and non-crisis situations.

Parents, guardians, grandparents, and caregivers of BV students who want to better understand common mental health challenges and be able to support their child or another youth if they experience a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis.
