Youth Mental Health First Aide Training
More than two dozen Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) trainings for staff and local community members were provided over the last two years. The Marysville School District continues to offer, free of charge, this widely successful training and certification. YMHFA provides an easy to understand and interactive training that educates, informs and de-stigmatizes issues related to mental health disorders. It also provides trainees with a practical plan and strategy to support an adolescent experiencing a mental health crisis. After successfully completing this course, trainees receive a three-year certificate as a YMHFA responder. Learn more and sign up for sessions HERE.
