Winter Wellness Starts with Free Youth Mental Health First Aid

STAMFORD, CT/November 5, 2025 – As the colder months approach, it’s the perfect time to prepare yourself with the tools to support youth facing mental health challenges this winter. The Stamford Youth Mental Health Alliance is offering two free Youth Mental Health First Aid training courses this November and December, specifically designed for parents, educators, coaches and anyone who works with youth.

These courses teach participants skills to not only identify mental health and substance use concerns in youth but also address it. Research shows that starting these important conversations early significantly increases the likelihood of a young person reaching out to get the help they need.

Details for the upcoming training sessions:

  • Tuesday, November 11 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
  • Friday, December 5 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

These sessions are free and will be held at Park 215, 215 Stillwater Avenue, Stamford. Space is limited, and lunch is provided so register today at youthmentalhealthct@gmail.com.
