This Youth Mental Health class is designed to empower teens with the knowledge and skills to support a peer or younger student who may be facing mental health challenges, struggling with addiction, or in crisis. While Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily intended for adults who work with young people, this course is specifically tailored for teens aged 17 and under. It provides an introduction to common mental health challenges affecting youth, covering topics such as anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders that may involve psychosis, disruptive behavior disorders (including ADHD), and eating disorders.

The course is taught by David Galvan, a certified trainer in Adverse Childhood Experiences, which focuses on trauma-informed care. He is also a trainer of QPR (Question. Persuade. Refer), Youth & Teen Mental Health First Aid, where he has trained over 1000 individuals and more recently became a trainer and youth & young adult Director/Trainer with Soul Shop, a faith-based initiative that equips faith leaders to minister to those that have been impacted by suicide.
