All Events

Date:

Friday, September 18, 2026

Time:

9:00am – 2:30pm

Location:

Virtual

The Youth Mental Health First Aid training program is provided to adult participants, with the goal of raising awareness and education around behavioral health challenges in youth. Certification consists of 2-hours of self-paced online coursework followed by a 5.5 hour virtual, instructor-led Zoom training session. Through this interactive training, attendees will learn to identify concerns by better understanding signs and symptoms and risk factors. By focusing on real-life scenarios, participants will develop, and practice, the skills learned to support and intervene in crisis situations. MHFA is offered to adult participants and certifications are valid for three years from the effective training date.

*Self-paced coursework must be completed by participants at least two days prior to instructor-led session. Registrations will close one week prior to scheduled dates.

DLC is supported through Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation to provide Youth Mental Health First Aid trainings at no cost to our community. While the training fee is covered through this funding, any donation you may choose to make will go directly to the DLC mission to provide life-saving and life-changing behavioral health care through education, prevention, intervention, and treatment available to all.
