Description: 

MHFA Adults who Interact with Youth is intended to support youth (aged 14-25). Participants who take this course are well prepared to interact confidently about mental health with the young people in their lives, including at schools, extra-curricular activities, social services, family, friends, and communities. Participants will be provided with a training manual to keep, but must bring their own note -taking material (pens/pencils, notebooks etc.), and lunch/snacks. Participants must attend both days in full to receive their certificates.
