One in five people will have a panic attack once in their lifetime. What would you do when this happens to a student, loved one, or church member? Attend the Youth Mental Health First Aid course to recognize symptoms of mental health problems, how to help, and how to guide the youth to professional help. University of Missouri Extension is sponsoring Youth Mental Health First Aid training on Wednesday, July 10 in Dexter.
The 8-hour training will be held at the University of Missouri Extension FNEP office from 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. The registration fee is $10, which includes lunch and a workbook. This course is POST certified for 8 interpersonal hours and CEU’s are available for an additional charge. Instructors, who are certified Youth Mental Health First Aid Trainers, include Stephanie Milner, 4-H Youth Development Specialist for University of Missouri Extension and Field Specialist in Human Development Mary Engram.
