YMHFA teaches non-clinicians how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders in youth. The 6-hour training gives these adults the skills they need to reach out and provide initial support to youth ages 6 to 18 and help connect them to appropriate care. Trainings are hosted throughout the year, or private trainings for groups of 15 or more are available by request.
