Youth Mental Health First Aid® – Baltimore City

*This training is for individuals who live and/or work in Baltimore City*

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed for adults who work with youth, ages 12-18. The youth program teaches signs and symptoms of emerging mental health problems and how to differentiate potential problems from typical adolescent development. This skills-based course includes a 5-step action plan which can be used in various types of crisis and non-crisis situations. The pandemic’s unprecedented impact on the mental health of Baltimore’s youth and families has increased the need for mental health awareness and action.

Each fully virtual course consists of 2 hours of self-paced prework and 6 hours of live virtual instruction.

This course is free of cost for individuals who live and/or work in Baltimore City, through a generous partnership with Behavioral Health System Baltimore and Mental Health First Aid Maryland. Seats are limited. Make a difference and become a Mental Health First Aider today!
