Located at Palmetto Branch Library, North River Prevention Partners teaming up with Mental Health First Aid are offering a free teen mental health first aid training and certification.

Students in grades 10-12, age 15-18, living in Sarasota or Manatee County are eligible to take part in this training. You must attend all three sessions in order to get a national certificate which can be used for future resumes.

In these meetings you will learn common signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges and crises. How to open the conversation of mental illnesses and substance use with friends. And how to seek the help of a trusted adult.
