The First Aid for Youth Mental Health course empowers both individuals and organisations to recognise and understand the signs
and symptoms
of mental health issues in young people. Theoretical and practical elements of the course provide the skills, knowledge and practise of first aid for mental health and how to effectively support
those experiencing distress.
This allows both individuals and organisations to understand the signs and symptoms of mental health issues in young people aged 7-18
and how best to support them and those around them, and how to effectively signpost
for those in need.
Wellbeing tools and concepts are included and discussed so delegates benefit at an individual level as well as being able to help the young people they connect with.
On successful completion of the course and on passing the practical and written assessments, learners will receive an FAA level 2 award in First Aid for Youth Mental Health (RQF). In Scotland successful completion results in the award of a level 5 award in First Aid for Youth Mental Health (SCQF).
