Thank you for your interest in taking the Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Certification training. This training is appropriate for adults who work with youth and comprises a total of eight hours of instruction. You will do two hours of coursework online before the start of class through a YMHFA dashboard. Afterwards, you will do six hours of online Zoom sessions with me as the instructor. Your engagement in these live online classroom sessions will be important to reinforce the concepts taught throughout the training. At the successful completion of 8 hours of instruction, you will have the opportunity to earn a YMHFA certificate of completion. Please fill out the information below to get started. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and I'm happy to respond.
Sincerely,
