GUIDE will offer Youth Mental Health First Aid courses in Gwinnett from Tuesday, July 9 - Friday, July 12!

 

The trainings will be held from 8 am - 5 pm each day. Participants should only register for one day.

 

**GCPS employees who register and complete all course requirements will receive a $150 stipend.**

 

Youth Mental Health First Aid is designed to teach parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors, health and human services workers, and other caring citizens how to help an adolescent (age 12-18) who is experiencing a mental health or addictions challenge or is in crisis. Youth Mental Health First Aid is primarily designed for adults who regularly interact with young people. Prior to the course, participants will receive instructions for completing a brief pre-test online.

 

Trainings will be held at two different locations, so registrants should pay attention to the location selected!

July 9 and 10: Catalyst Coalition (1854 Shackleford Court, Suite 300, Norcross, GA 30093)

July 11 and 12: One Justice Square (446 West Crogan St., Lawrenceville, GA 30046, Room 106)

 

Lunch is provided. Please share any dietary restrictions in the "special accommodations" field when registering.

 

As an additional option, our facilitators will offer a FREE 30-minute lunch and learn session (12:15 - 12:45 pm) where participants will be taught how to administer Naloxone (Narcan), a medication to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses. Each participant will receive a free Narcan kit at the end of the training.
