Colonial Behavioral Health - Prevention Services will offer free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Youth trainings. The trainings are FREE and participants will receive a course manual with additional tips and resources.

Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, MHFA helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health problem or crisis. In the MHFA course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.

MHFA-Youth focuses on teaching individuals who work with youth and young adults about the various mental health challenges and disorders which often develop during adolescence and what can be done to help provide support.
