On Monday 1 July the 14 hr Youth Mental Health First Aid Course organised and hosted by Fusion Canberra came to an end.
Instructed by Karen Latten, a Fusion staff worker and Community Nurse from Sydney, from the feedback from the 11 participants it was very helpful for them.
The group was quite diverse with youth workers, youth pastors, youth leaders, community leaders, Navy Cadet leaders and community workers.
The course covered:
– What is mental health first aid?
– Adolescent development
– Depression
– Suicide
– non-suicidal self injury
– Anxiety
– Psychosis
– how to respond in crises
Thanks to Eternity Church for providing a fantastic venue.
Fusion Canberra hopes and prays that this training provides participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to respond with deeper mercy and understanding and a greater ability to extend effective care and real hope.
