Youth Mental Health First Aid Trainings
- **Registration Opens Today, Tuesday, July 7**
The State Library was recently awarded an Outreach to Consumers grant award in the amount of $15,000 from the
National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Middle Atlantic Region. The funds will be used to purchase approximately 100 seats for staff in public and school libraries who work with adolescents ages 12 – 18 to be trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid. This
training enables library staff members to deal calmly and effectively with customers who may be suffering from stress or mental health issues in their lives at no cost to them. Participants will earn a Mental Health First Aid certificate at the end of the
two-part program. Youth Mental Health First Aid training will take place in the following libraries:
The eight-hour Youth Mental Health First Aid certification course will be offered in two four-hour sessions.
Space is limited! There are 25 seats available at each location. Registration will be closed once we meet capacity.
Registration for the August training sessions, held at
Bernardsville Public Library and Mays Landing Branch, Atlantic County Library System, will begin today,
Tuesday July 7, 2015. The two remaining trainings will take place in October of 2015. Dates, times and locations TBD and will be announced soon.
