Learn The Skills To Make A Difference
Over the last couple of years we have seen an increasing demand for mental health programs for schools and organisations dealing with teens. We have now adapted our successful workshops for the school environment, with content carefully tailored for the specific needs of students and school staff.
The Teen Mental Health First Aid course is for high school students in Years 7-9 and
10-12. Students will learn how to provide mental health first aid to their friends.
This course is based on guidelines developed through the expert consensus of
people with lived experience of mental health problems and professionals.
Topics Covered:
-
Anxiety and depression
-
Eating disorders
-
Alcohol and other drug disorders
-
Psychosis
Note: This course is not a therapy or a support group.
-
Suicidal thoughts and behaviors
-

Why Attend The Course?
Research with high school students who receive tMHFA students report reduced stigma, increased confidence in supporting a peer with a mental health problem and are also able to recognise certain adults as helpful to a peer with a mental health problem.
