Youth Mental Health First Aid Training.
It is a 2 day programme (participants must be able to attend both days), backed by the Welsh Government as part of their fulfillment of the Talk to Me plan to reduce suicide in Wales.
The course is open to anyone who works with young people (11-25) in Powys.
Aim/ Nod:
The Youth Mental Health First Aid training
programme is an important addition to the existing
Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Wales programme
which helps frontline workers to recognise the
symptoms of mental distress and how to provide
initial help and support while guiding people
towards appropriate help. Around 4000 people to
date have received the adult MHFA in Wales.
YMHFA (Wales) aims to help participants to
preserve life where a person may be a danger to
themselves or others and to provide help to
prevent a mental health problem developing into a
more serious state. Also to promote recovery of
good mental health and provide comfort to a
person experiencing mental distress
