Teen Mental Health First Aid equips students with a peer-led framework for recognising when a friend may be struggling, responding with care and involving a trusted adult — helping create a safer school community.
Teenagers often spot changes in their friends long before adults do. Without guidance, students may try to manage these moments alone or feel unsure when to seek help. tMHFA strengthens peer support by giving young people a clear, age-appropriate action plan and steady communication tools.
As a peer-led model, students do more than receive training — they become advocates for safety, early support and stigma reduction across their school community.
• Students learn clearer, safer ways to respond when a peer is struggling
• Early signs are recognised sooner, encouraging timely help-seeking
• Schools strengthen peer-to-peer support and reduce stigma
🗸 Recognising signs of developing mental health concerns in peers
