Youth Mental Health First Aid: Online, Subsidized Certification

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to support and teach camp professionals and seasonal staff who work with adolescents (age 12-18) to better understand and support an individual experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis.

Certification lasts 3 years!
