The Youth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid course teaches participants how to provide initial support to an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander young person (aged12–18) who may be experiencing a mental health problem or mental health crisis, until professional support is received or the crisis resolves.

Course participants learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems impacting Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander adolescents, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem, and the supports available, including cultural context to community-based care.
