Build a powerful community of teens ages 14-18 by teaching them how to support a friend or classmate with the evidence-based teen Mental Health First Aid (tMHFA) course.
Adolescence is a time of critical change and development. It’s when mental health challenges may first emerge and may be the cause for falling grades, problems with close relationships and substance use. Young people will be prepared to provide support for their peers as well as better cope with
mental health challenges themselves. tMHFA was brought to the United States by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing in
partnership with Born This Way Foundation, and is tailored to the unique experiences and needs of young people. Its plain language ensures learners at all reading levels can easily follow along.
Why Mental Health First Aid?​
This is offered to teens ages 14-18 or 9th to 12th grade in our program. If you are a youth serving organization or school and would like to partner with use to bring to your students, please contact us for more information at (209) 910-4349. Our founder and president, Alasha Jiles, is a Certified Instructor for tMHFA through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
