Youth Mental Health First Aid gives teachers a structured, internationally recognised approach to supporting young people who may be experiencing stress, emotional difficulty or emerging signs of mental health challenges — all within clear school boundaries.
Teachers often notice changes in students long before formal support is involved. Many want to help but worry about saying the wrong thing, overstepping or missing important signs.
Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) provides a clear, proven framework that helps educators recognise early signs, hold steady conversations and guide students toward appropriate next steps. This creates safer, calmer and more supportive school environments where concerns can be addressed earlier.
• Teachers gain confidence recognising early signs in young people
• Conversations become clearer, safer and more supportive
• Schools strengthen early-support pathways through shared skills and language
Participants develop clear, practical skills for early support, including:
🗸 Understanding common mental health challenges affecting young people
🗸 Recognising behavioural, emotional and communication indicators of concern in students
🗸 Applying the ALGEE Action Plan with confidence
🗸 Holding calm, steady and supportive conversations with young people
🗸 Knowing when further support is needed and how to involve pastoral or senior staff
Training is delivered in a safe, inclusive learning environment.
Participants receive an internationally recognised Youth Mental Health First Aid certificate from the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong upon completion.
Suitable for teachers, learning support staff, pastoral teams and senior leaders who want a structured, confidence-building approach to supporting student wellbeing.
