The YMHFA course teaches adults (18yrs+) who have frequent contact with adolescents, such as parents, guardians, school staff, sport coaches, youth workers etc, how to support adolescents who are developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of a mental health problem or are in a mental health crisis.
