Could you be the person who makes a difference when a young person needs support?
If you work with, support or care for children and young people in your role, Youth Mental Health First Aid training can help you develop the confidence and skills to recognise when a young person may be struggling and provide appropriate support.

This accredited training is suitable for professionals working with or supporting young people aged 8 to 18 and provides the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to recognise and respond to mental health concerns, including during a crisis.
