Space available in Youth Mental Health First Aid course

Mental health challenges – such as depression, anxiety, psychosis and substance use – are shockingly common among youth in the United States.

In fact, more than one in five American adults will have a mental health problem in any given year. 

Tanya Lascelle of the Center for Human Services is certified by The National Council for Behavioral Health to provide Youth Mental Health First Aid courses to prepare communities with the knowledge and skills to help youth who are developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

The training helps the public better identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses. For more information on Mental Health First Aid, visit this website.

Space is still available in the class which is scheduled for Thursday, June 11 from 9am to 5:30pm at Shoreline City Hall 17500 Midvale Ave N. Clock hours through the Puget Sound Educational Service District are available.
