Description
You are more likely to encounter someone — friend,
family member, student, neighbor — in an emotional or
mental crisis than someone having a heart attack.
YMHFA, a National Council for Behavioral Health
program, teaches a 5-step action plan to offer initial
help to young people showing signs of a mental illness
or in a crisis, and connect them with the appropriate
professional, peer, social, or self-help care. Anyone can
take the 8-hour course, but it is ideally designed for
adults who work with young people, ages 12-18.
