Thank You!

Thank you for your interest in offering a fully-funded Youth MHFA course to your team.

These funded trainings are available to community organizations that interact with youth, especially BIPOC youth who identify as male.

By taking a funded Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training through our Team: Changing Minds partnership, you can learn how to identify, understand and respond to early signs that a young person may be facing a mental health or substance use challenge.

The training covers:

  • Common signs and symptoms of mental health challenges in this age group, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD).
  • How to interact with a child or adolescent in crisis.
  • How to connect youth with help.
  • Trauma, substance use, self-care and the impact of social media and bullying.

  • Mental Health First Aid training has taught the officer to ask his charges, “What happened?” instead of, “What’s wrong with you?”” –Officer Orlando Singleton
  • So many people are out there wishing for something better, hoping that help will show up. That’s what Mental Health First Aid is – it is help to get people connected to care and ultimately to get them to a better place.” –Tousha Paxton-Barnes, U.S. Army Veteran
  • I wish that every corrections officer could receive Mental Health First Aid training. I believe that our corrections system would be better because of it – the inmates would benefit, the officers would benefit and ultimately our communities would benefit.” –Lt. Virgil Meyer, Lieutenant, Pennsylvania Department of Corrections
  • As adults, we sometimes forget how hard it was being an adolescent. When we see a kid who is just miserable at school, we might think they choose to be that way – or that it’s just part of adolescence. But in fact, they might be in a mental health crisis, one they certainly did not choose and do not want. When a teacher says “how can I be helpful,” that is a powerful question. ” –Alyssa Fruchtenicht, School-Based Mental Health Counselor
