Help. Heal. Hope.

@astorservices is hosting a Youth Mental Health First Aid Training on October 28. The program, developed by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, is designed for adults who interact with children and adolescents in a variety of settings, including professionals such as teachers, coaches, and youth-serving staff, as well as parents, caregivers, friends, and neighbors.

Participants will learn how to recognize when a young person may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge and how to provide appropriate support. The course covers practical strategies for responding to concerns, connecting young people with resources, and offering help in a supportive and effective way.

Participants must be at least 18 years old to attend. Cost: $50 per participant. Lunch provided, CEUs available at no additional cost. Register: astorservices.surveymonkey.com/r/ymhfa2026astor ... See MoreSee Less
