Youth Mental Health Awareness

This introductory four-hour session raises awareness of young people’s mental health. It covers:

• Some of the common mental health issues affecting young people, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders and psychosis
• Skills to work more effectively with young people living with mental health issues
• Ways to support young people with a mental health issue and relate to their experiences

Learning takes place through a mix of presentations, group discussions and workshop activities. We limit numbers to 25 people per course so that the instructor can keep people safe and supported while they learn.

Everyone who completes the course gets:

• A manual to refer to whenever you need it
• A workbook including a helpful toolkit to support your own mental health
• A certificate of attendance to say you are Mental Health Aware
