teen Mental Health First Aid
tMHFA is an evidence-based training program for teens in grades 9-12, or ages 14-18. It teaches teens how to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges among friends and peers. Teens gain the skills to have supportive conversations with their friends and learn how to get the help of a responsible and trusted adult as necessary. The training is conducted through six 45-minute sessions with sophomore students and typically takes place in the fall semester.
