Sometimes first aid isn't a bandage or CPR.
Sometimes, first aid is YOU.

Someone you know could be experiencing a mental health or substance use problem. EatMoveGrow's nationally recognized Mental Health First Aid training teaches you how to make an action plan to help.  The course is for teachers, coaches, social workers, faith leaders -- anyone who wants to make a difference.

Although schools often have trained professionals such as nurses and school counselors who assist with mental health challenges, it is also important for teachers and other staff to be able to aid youth in need until the professional help can arrive.

Participants in Youth Mental Health First Aid

will learn to:

• recognize signs,
• respond appropriately,
• create a supportive environment,
• and utilize self-care strategies
