YMHFA - October is Mental Health Month and this years theme is “It’s time to talk about Mental Health”

Last week I facilitated Youth Mental Health First Aid training where we did just that!

The 2 day YMHFA course teaches adults to recognise signs and provide initial support to young people who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis until they can be connected to professional supports.

Congratulations to our 8 new Youth Mental Health First Aiders 🙌
