Become a First Aider Now

Youth Mental Health First Aid training equips trusted adults with the skills and confidence to support adolescents experiencing mental health challenges or crisis.

The program is designed primarily for adults who regularly interact with young people, including parents, educators, and community members. NAMI Cook County North Suburban staff are certified to deliver this course through funding provided by the Josselyn Center.

Youth Mental Health First Aid teaches participants how to recognize and respond to signs of mental health challenges, substance use concerns, or crisis in adolescents ages 12–18.
