Youth Mental Health First Aid
#PointerNation loves learning! Several of our staff participated in a training on Youth Mental Health First Aid led by our school social worker, Dani Robb, and her co-presenter Sharine Shinkay-Astin, School Counselor in the Whitewater Unified School District.
Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches staff how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among children and adolescents. The course introduces common mental health challenges for youth, reviews typical adolescent development, and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Topics covered include anxiety, depression, substance use, disorders in which psychosis may occur, disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD), and eating disorders.
