Youth workers have a key role in the early intervention of mental health issues and in assisting clients to develop skills to improve their mental wellbeing. In this session, you will increase your knowledge of our client group’s most prevalent health issue and develop practical strategies that both you and your centre/program can implement to improve the mental health outcomes of young people.
This half-day session is designed for non-clinical youth and AOD workers.
Practical, no-jargon training on how to:
- Identify mental health issues
- Assist clients to link in with the care they need
- Support them on their journey
