Youth Mental Health First Aid Take a course. Change a life.
Youth Mental Health First Aid is a comprehensive training specifically designed to equip educators, family members, and caregivers (18 years or older) with the skills and knowledge to identify, understand, and respond to the signs or risk factors of mental illness and substance use disorders in youth. Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack, Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis.

Learn the importance of early intervention. Learn the risk factors and warning signs for mental health and substance use concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and how to connect youth to appropriate care.
WHY TAKE MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID?
Similar to traditional First Aid and CPR, Mental Health First Aid is the help offered to a person developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate treatment and support are received or until the crisis resolves.
Preserve life when person may be a danger to self or others,
Provide help to prevent the problem from becoming more serious,
Promote and enhance recovery,
Provide comfort and support
Mental Health First Aid helps people respond appropriately when someone is distressed, offer initial support and be a link to resources.
Mental Health First Aid is a program that introduces participants to risk factors and warning signs of mental health concerns, builds understanding of their impact, and overviews common treatments.
The course uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to assess a mental health crisis; and provide initial help.
Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based education and prevention tool to improve the public’s knowledge of mental health and substance use problems.
Mental Health First Aid helps people know that mental illnesses and addictions are real, common and treatable and that it’s okay to seek help.
Mental health issues are common
Stigma is associated with mental health problems
Many people are not well informed
Professional help is not always on hand
People often do not know how to respond in times of need
People with mental health problems often do not seek help
A young person you know could be struggling.
Sometimes first aid isn't a bandage or CPR.
Sometimes, first aid is YOU.
Teen Mental Health is now being piloted in the U.S. and we hope to bring it to Santa Barbara in 2021.
The 3.5-hour teen MHFA Course teaches high school students in years 10-12, how to provide mental health first aid to their friends. This course is not a therapy or support group, rather it is an education course for adolescents to learn how to give mental health first aid to peers. Curriculum overview includes... (1) Look for warning signs. (2) Ask their friend how they are. (3) Listen up — teens learn how to really listen in a way that will really open the conversation. (4) Connect with an adult. (5) Recognize the importance of their friendship.

Anyone, anywhere can make a difference in the life of someone with a mental health or substance use challenge – if they know what to do and what to say.
The greater the number of teachers, coaches, youth group leaders, parents and school support staff trained, the more students will benefit from accessing the help that they need. The ability to recognize that a young person’s lack of focus, bullying behaviors or failure to turn in assignments may be linked to an underlying mental health or substance use problem is an important step in supporting them effectively.
Teachers and support staff need the appropriate tools to engage students who might be experiencing a mental health problem or crisis just as they would be trained to address physical health emergencies. Studies demonstrate that early detection and treatment of mental health and substance use problems in adolescents can make a difference in not only emotional wellness, but also in their academic success.
Mental Health First Aid teaches about recovery and resiliency – the belief that individuals experiencing these challenges can and do get better, and use their strengths to stay well.
adultMental Health First Aid & youth Mental Health First Aid are intended for all people (18 years or older) and organizations that make up the fabric of a community, including hospitals, nursing homes, parent organizations, social clubs, faith community, chambers of commerce, professional associations, rotary clubs, and professionals who regularly interact with people (such as police officers, human resource directors, and primary care workers).

Participants receive a 3 year certification upon completion.
Like CPR, Mental Health First Aid prepares participants to interact with a person in crisis and encourage them to access support resources.
Course provides an opportunity to practice — through role plays, scenarios, and activities — makes it easier to apply these skills in a real-life situation.
An overview of local mental health resources, support groups, and other help are provided.
A resource manual is provided and packed with information on all topics covered in the course

Listen non-judgmentally

A virtual workshop featuring award-winning short films, mindfulness activities, & panel discussion with students & mental health resources.
About this event
Movies for Mental Health (Online) is a 2-hour virtual workshop that uses the power of film to unite folks in community, connection, and conversation.
This interactive, online experience will feature an anonymous, chat-based discussion on mental health, the stigma that frequently surrounds mental illness, and media portrayals of mental health issues.
Following this will be a live screening of three award-winning short films, therapeutic activities to consciously connect minds and bodies, and a collective exploration around what the work means for us as individuals.
The event will culminate in a panel of lived-experience speakers and mental health resources, empowering us to share our own stories and access support available to us in these uncertain times.
