1 . Youth Mental Health First Aid
Youth Mental Health First Aid USA is an 8-hour public education program which introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health problems in teens, builds understanding of the importance of early intervention (介入) and teaches individuals how to help a teen who is experiencing a mental health challenge.
