Youth Mental Health First Aid Courses

Practical, evidence-based training to help you support young people through mental health challenges.

Learn how to recognise, understand and respond to a young person who may be experiencing a mental health problem or crisis. Delivered in person in Strathfield, these accredited courses give parents, carers, educators, youth workers and community leaders the confidence and skills to provide meaningful first-line support.

Course One

Youth Mental Health First Aid — Full Course

The Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) course teaches adults how to recognise, understand and respond to a young person who may be experiencing a mental health problem or crisis. You’ll learn practical, evidence-based skills to provide initial support until appropriate professional help is available or the crisis resolves.

The course covers common mental health problems affecting adolescents — including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, psychosis and substance use — as well as how to respond in a crisis, such as suicidal thoughts and behaviours, panic attacks, traumatic events, severe psychotic states, aggressive behaviours, and the effects of alcohol and other drugs.

Who it’s for

Ideal for parents and carers, teachers and school staff, youth workers, coaches and mentors, health professionals, pastors, youth leaders and chaplains — and anyone who works with or supports young people aged 12–18.
