Exciting opportunity to receive FREE Youth Mental Health First Aid Training!
What is Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA)?
An evidence- and skills-based training for adults who frequently interact with youth. YMHFA is the help offered to a young person experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. Training is for anyone 18+.

*Please note there is NO requirement for attendees to have a mental health background.*

What will I learn?
  • Common signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges in adolescents
  • Language and skills to talk to youth about suicide
  • 5-step action plan to recognize and respond to youth in crisis and non-crisis situations
  • How to refer a youth to the appropriate professional support services
What Arlington community members are saying about the training:

  • “Because I participated in this training, I now feel confident asking if someone is thinking of killing themselves”
  • “I have applied some [YMHFA] approaches to my 9 year old son - identifying what are normal 9 year old behaviors versus what might be concerning.”
Thanks to the Mental Health Awareness Training grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, this course, originally valued at $170 per participant, is being offered at no cost to learners.
