Event Details

Event Description

This Youth Mental Health First Aid workshop is offered to our region through a partnership between Northwest Regional Education Service district, Hillsboro School District, and Washington County Behavioral Health Division.

Youth Mental Health First Aid introduces participants to the unique risk factors and warning signs of mental health challenges in youth, builds understanding of the importance of early intervention, and teaches individuals how to help youth in crisis or experiencing a mental health challenge. YMHFA uses role-playing and simulations to demonstrate how to assess a mental health crisis; select interventions and provide initial help; and connect young people to professional, peer, social, and self-help care.

Accommodations: We strive to make our events accessible and inclusive to participants from all backgrounds and abilities. If you think you will need additional accommodations, such as an interpreter, please contact Neha Hertzog, School Safety & Prevention Specialist: nhertzog@nwresd.k12.or.us
