Youth Mental Health First Aid

We’ve seen the reports, and we’ve talked to our kids: today’s youth are struggling to feel okay, and the impacts can be devastating.

THAR’s Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge, or is in crisis. Designed primarily for adults regularly interacting with teens, the curriculum covers anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including ADHD), and eating disorders.
