We thank you for choosing to #BeTheDifference and hope that you are staying safe and healthy during this difficult time.
Youth Mental Health First Aid is very strict on participants attending 8 hours. Absolutely no partial credit given for time missed.
As COVID-19 is changing our daily reality, there is an important need for MHFA to be available virtually. The National Council is pleased to announce that we are preparing to release a virtual Mental Health First Aid course.
First Aiders will complete a 2-hour, self-paced class, and then participate in a 4-hour, Instructor-led class using videoconferencing technology.
The virtual training will be based on new curricula that has been in development for more than a year. It includes expanded content on trauma, addiction and self-care. Youth MHFA will include new content applicable for adults working with elementary-age children, including content on the impact of social media. The content is gender neutral and culturally relevant.
