Youth Mental Health First Aid

Did you know that 20% of Iowa youth between the ages of 13-18 live with a mental illness? Iowa ranks 29th in the nation for the number of deaths by suicide.

So how can you help?

Learn the warning signs and risk factors. Practice assessing situations and using appropriate interventions so that you can help a child connect with professional care.

Parents, teachers, paras, administrators, custodians, community members.. it just takes one person to make a difference.
