Youth Mental Health First Aid, 8 – 5 p.m. Whitehall Community Library, 110 1st St. West in Whitehall. A young person you know could be experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis. You can help them. It’s pretty common for adults to have difficulty telling the difference between what is normal adolescence and a mental health challenge. Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches participants how to decode adolescence and how to provide initial help to a young person they’re worried about. Through a five-step action plan known as ALGEE, participants will be able to recognize a potential mental challenge in an adolescent and know how to connect them to the appropriate professional, peer, social or self-help care. Any adult can take the Youth Mental Health First Aid course, but it is designed for adults who work with or are caretakers of young people, ages 12 – 18. To participate in this free in-person training, please register at https://bit.ly/YMHFAWHITEHALL and then join us at 8 a.m. at the Whitehall Community Library.
