Youth Mental Health First Aid 2 day course

This course will train adults to have the skills and confidence to step in, offer first aid and guide young people towards the support they need. In doing so, they can speed up a young person’s recovery, stop issues from developing into a crisis, and ultimately save lives. Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is aimed at organisations working with young people aged 8-18. This training is for Kensington & Chelsea Voluntary organisations.

This training will be delivered by an experienced and accredited MHFA trainer from Kensington & Chelsea MIND. 

This is a 2-day course that will take place on Thursday 7th March and Thursday 14th March from 9.30am to 5pm.

The course is designed to give:

• An in-depth understanding of young people’s mental health and factors that affect mental wellbeing
• Practical skills to spot the triggers and signs of mental health issues
• Confidence to reassure and support a young person in distress
• Enhanced interpersonal skills, such as non-judgemental listening
• Knowledge to help a young person with a long term mental health issue or disability to thrive
• Tools to look after your own mental wellbeing

There is a maximum of 2 places per organisation as spaces are limited. Only Charities and community organisations can attend our training sessions.
