Youth Mental First Aid

Mental Health First Aid gives you the skills you need to reach out and provide initial support to someone who may be developing a mental health or substance use challenge and help connect them to the appropriate care. The Youth Mental Health First Aid course is for anyone who works with or have youth in their life. It is not designed for youth to take under the age of 16.
The course will teach you how to apply the ALGEE action plan:
Assess for risk of suicide or harm
Listen nonjudgmentally
Give reassurance and information
Encourage appropriate professional help
Encourage self-help and other support strategies
Course Format:
Participants must complete 2-hours of self-paced training at least 3 days prior to the course date.
The 4-hour portion of the course is a small group-interactive training. Participants will join via Zoom and should be prepared to be present and actively engaged for the whole course.
The course is valued at $175 per person but is being offered to you for $30 by AFSP-Missouri Chapter.
If for some reason you must reschedule or are unable to participate, 7 days’ notice must be given so your seat can be filled by another individual. No refunds after June 13, 2025.
