ABOUT THE TRAINING:

Teen-to-Teen Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based course that is ideal for teens who want to better understand or support a friend or any other teenager that may be struggling with their mental and emotional health. This program recognizes that teens prefer sharing their problems with other teens. This training empowers teens to support others while keeping themselves safe.

THE ROLE OF A TEEN MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AIDER:

A Teen MFAider is an informal first responder who can identify and respond to a friend who is:

  • Showing early warning signs that they’re becoming unwell
  • Currently struggling with their mental health
  • Experiencing a mental health crisis

This is NOT a training that:

  • Teaches teens how to counsel or diagnose
  • Expects teens to handle their problems alone

COURSE MATERIAL & CERTIFICATE:

A course manual will be provided for the training. An e-certificate will be e-mailed to each participant upon completion of the course.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Kindly note, photography and videography will take place during the session and may be used for marketing, communications, and social media purposes by the sponsor, LG Gulf, and The LightHouse Arabia.
