Youth Mental Health First Aid Certification for Camp Staff – 05-29-2025
Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) enables youth professionals to recognize signs of distress and guide a young person toward appropriate treatments and other supportive health care. Participants will learn how to distinguish between typical adolescent development and symptoms of mental health challenges most common to young people; anxiety, depression, eating or substance use disorders, and the impact of social media and bullying. YMHFA emphasizes the importance of early intervention and teaches individuals how to help an adolescent who is in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. They will walk away with strategies for self-care and a 5-step action plan for how to help young people in both crisis and non-crisis situations. Participants who complete this course will earn a certificate that is valid for three years.
This course is held virtually in partnership with The Jewish Education Project and BeWell. Interested in other mental health and wellness educational opportunities for your organization? Contact Brett Lubarsky, director of Jewish communal life at CJP, to learn more!
