Youth Mental Health First Aid - SSI

The School Support and Improvement (SSI) Unit within the Arizona Department of Education, in partnership with Project AWARE, is proud to offer Youth Mental Health First Aid learning sessions FREE OF COST in Summer 2022 and School Year 2022-2023.

Any personnel from a local education agency (LEA) who engages with students ages 12-18 or grades six (6) through 12 must receive suicide prevention training at least once every three (3) years, per ARS 15-120, also known as the Mitch Warnock Act. This opportunity is completely FREE for educators in the state.

The Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) course covers a wide variety of common mental health challenges in both crisis and non-crisis contexts and satisfies this requirement by providing valuable information and strategies to further support your learning communities' mental health. Key components of this learning are:
• Typical adolescent behavior
• Anxiety and depression
• Substance use
• Disorders in which psychosis may occur
• Disruptive behavior disorders (including AD/HD)
• Eating disorders
• Suicide

This live virtual learning session is approximately six hours and thirty minutes (6.5 hours), including breaks, and requires approximately two (2) hours of pre-course work, to be completed prior to the live session.

Any questions should be emailed to Serena.Lobo@azed.gov or call (602) 542-3123.

NOTE: Email addresses will only be used for the purpose of official enrollment through the MHFA online platform and session-specific communication.
