It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.The training course, ‘Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid: Young People’ is aimed at adults working or living with young people aged between 11 and 18 years old who may be at risk of developing mental health problems. The course is for teachers, youth workers, sports coaches, support workers, parents and others assisting young people in a variety of settings.
The aim of the course is to better understand mental health, how it affects young people, and to learn mental health first aid skills.Mental health first aid can be applied, in a crisis and non-crisis situation, to a range of common and less common mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, eating disorders, suicide, self-harm or substance use.
Structure
The whole course should take up to 14 hours and is divided into 3 parts.
The NHS Virtual Learning Environment is used for the online parts of the training course (parts 1 and 3) which complement the one day face-to-face session known as Part 2.
To obtain a certificate of completion and to be able to successfully use the intervention skills learnt, participants will be required to complete all 3 parts of the course.
The course costs £80 per person, or £65 for members of Homeless Action Scotland (cost is for all 3 parts). The course is also available for in-house delivery.
