Both programs are free to the community\, thanks to local partnerships and funding\, and both offer practical strategies\, as well as certification upon completion. \nWhat You’ll Learn in Youth MHFA\n\n\nHow to identify risk factors and warning signs of mental health and substance use challenges \n\n\nHow to approach and support a young person who may be struggling \n\n\nHow to connect them with appropriate professional and community resources \n\n\nAction steps you can take to reduce stigma and promote mental wellness \n\n\nCertification valid for 3 years \n\n\nOther Training Opportunities\nQPR (Question\, Persuade\, Refer) is a 2-hour training that focuses on suicide prevention.
