Youth Mental Health First Aid Training – Adults
Waubonsie Valley High School
Naperville Community Unit School District 203 Home & School, Indian Prairie School District 204, West Aurora School District 129, and KidsMatter are partnering together on two Youth Mental Health First Aid Training classes for Parents and Caregivers.
Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for parents and adults who regularly interact with young people. Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help children and adolescents (age 6-18) who are experiencing a mental health or addiction challenge or is in crisis.
After completing a 2-hour, self-paced online class, First Aiders will participate in an in-person, Instructor-led class. The 2–hour self-paced class needs to be completed before attending the in-person, Instructor-led class. Continuing education units are available for LCPC/LPC, LCSW/LSW, LMFT, and Psychologists.
