Record levels of young people are struggling. Several different sources have been identified as contributing factors to this epidemic of poor mental health in our young people. There are inclusive of...
- Social Media
- Bullying
- Poverty
- Lack of availability of professional mental health support
Young people are not getting the support that they need. Family members, guardians, teachers and other key figures in a young person's life may be able to spot when they are struggling but may feel unable to offer the right help or support.

learn to support young people
Youth Mental Health First Aid courses are for everyone who works with, lives with or supports young people aged 8-18. They will teach you the skills and confidence to spot the signs of mental health issues in a young person, offer first aid and guide them towards the support they need. In doing so, you can speed up a young person's recovery and stop a mental health issue from getting worse.
YOU WILL NOT BE TAUGHT TO BE A THERAPIST, but you will learn to listen, reassure and respond- even in a crisis or preventing one from happening.
You will also acquire the knowledge and skills to look after your own mental health so that you can set an example for young people. By giving you the tools to have these conversations, we hope to empower you to create a mentally healthy, supportive environment in your family, school, peer group or community.
