First Aid for Youth Mental Health Courses

Did you know that 50% of all mental ill-health conditions are established by the age of 14?

The First Aid for Youth Mental Health course is a 1 day course ideal for anyone who actively connects with young people aged 7-18, such as parents, carers, teachers, youth group leaders, sports coaches and young adults.

This 1-day course goes into detail on a range of mental health conditions and the support and help provided by healthcare professionals.

The course is for anyone over 14, and for between 8-16 delegates.

A syllabus overview is included below but full details of all modules is available on request.

 
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).
