STAMFORD, CT/September 5, 2025 – As students head back to the classroom, they don’t just need school supplies, they need support. This fall, the Stamford Youth Mental Health Alliance is offering two free Youth Mental Health First Aid training courses geared toward parents, teachers and any adult who interacts with kids on a regular basis.
This specialized training equips adults with the knowledge and tools to identify and support young people facing mental health and substance use challenges. Experts believe that when more people are trained to start these crucial conversations, young people are more likely to receive the help they need.
Two fall sessions are available. Both are free and include lunch:
- Thursday, September 25 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- Monday, October 13 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
These sessions will be held at Park 215, 215 Stillwater Avenue, Stamford. Space is limited, so register today at youthmentalhealthct@gmail.com.
