Youth Mental Health First Aid
Youth Mental Health First Aid is the help provided to someone developing a mental health problem or is in a mental health crisis.
The first aid is given until appropriate professional treatment is received or until the crisis resolves.
Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to train adults to assist young people in mental health crisis situations and/or in the early stage of mental health illness.
The TEEN Mental Health First Aid Program
The Rotary Clubs of Brighton North and Hampton have a big goal.
To provide the TEEN Mental Health First Aid program to every secondary school student in the Bayside area.
We aim to ensure that every secondary student experiences the TEEN Mental Health First Aid Program once across their secondary years of schooling.
We have started this program with Sandringham Secondary College and are currently approaching other schools in the area.
To help us raise the necessary funds to reach our goal, Brighton North Rotary Club are holding the inaugural Recycle Regatta on Sunday 19 March, 2023.
