APS Office of Student Services offers monthly Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) sessions which are open to staff, families and community members.
YMHFA teaches participants how to recognize and respond to mental health needs in youth. Everyone can help a young person who is experiencing distress or sadness. This day of training gives participants opportunities to learn and then practice simple response skills.
The first training for the 2023-24 school year is on Fri, Sept. 15. Space is limited to the first 30 registrants on each date. APS staff should register through Frontline. APS families should register here.
APS has collaborated with Arlington’s Department of Human Services (DHS) Prevention team to add Narcan and “Lock and Talk” suicide prevention training during the in-person portion of YMHFA.
Please find the attached flyer for information about dates/ and times, as well as how to register. Sessions are offered every month throughout the year. For more information, please contact the Office of Student Services at 703-228-6061.
