Sign-Up Walt's Waltz is a compass and a megaphone for mental health support, education, and change. In keeping with our mission, we are excited to announce upcoming educational courses.

MHFA Course Description: Youth Mental Health First Aid on 12/10

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. 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.

Through a valued partnership, Walt's Waltz is able to offer Mental Health First Aid courses free of charge. These courses are offered as a “Live” Virtual Course and is from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm EST.
