Youth Mental Health First Aid in Worcester

The first course of its kind aimed specifically at helping with mental health difficulties in young people.

Half of all mental health problems are established by the age of 14.

1 in 5 adolescents will experience a mental health problem in any given year.

1 in 10 children and young people (aged 5-16) have a diagnosable mental health problem.

Still think children have nothing to be stressed, anxious or depressed about?

About this course
Contact us to book

A course for anyone but primarily aimed at anyone working with or responsible for children and teenagers. 

Not helping them through it now is storing up much greater problems for the future but it’s also stopping them achieving their potential: that person might be the next Mozart, Nicholai Tesla, Marie Curie or Florence Nightingale

Regardless of what they might become, let’s do everything we can to help and alleviate their mental suffering right now. 

  • Learn how to spot telling behaviour in children and young people
  • Understand what might have led them to their dark place
  • Know how to start that potentially lifesaving conversation
  • Discover the wealth of resources and help that you can signpost them to
  • Support for everyone: the sufferer, their families and yourself

“The trainer had a wealth of knowledge (the slides weren’t as comprehensive as the trainers knowledge) which he was willing to share which enhanced the overall experience.”
Michelle
Teacher
“I really enjoyed the expansion into areas of concern such as self harm, depression and PTSD. Really great information. Overall I really enjoyed this and found the content so useful. While it shows I have a good understanding already, it also equips me to just notice signs more and practice watchful waiting, which is important.”
Sinead

“Excellent course! It was good to refresh aspects of mental health and will increase my awareness of mental health issues in people that I interact with. I will cascade my learning to friends and colleagues.”
