After a year and a half of delivering Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) virtually, Fishguard’s Point Youth Centre is now able to offer the training in person at the end of next month.

More than 70 participants completed the licensed course, delivered as part of Point’s Nurturing the Future project, online.

The YMHFA course teaches adults how to assist young people who could be developing a mental health problem, experiencing a worsening of a mental health problem or are in mental health crisis.

Point Youth Centre hopes that equipping the adult community with the tools to support young people’s mental health, will raise awareness, reduce stigma and ultimately help to increase emotional wellness within young people.
