Mental Health First Aid for Adults Working with Youth is designed to teach adults who regularly interact with young people how to provide initial support to youth experiencing mental health or addiction challenges and assist them in finding the help and care they need. As certified instructors, Penn State Extension educators teach the National Council for Mental Wellbeing’s Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course. This course consists of two hours of self-paced online learning and a six-hour live instructor-led virtual class. The course includes activities and opportunities to practice support strategies. A certificate will be available online after completion of the course.
