See it. Respond to it. Before it becomes a crisis.
Register for TrainingOur Youth Are Telling Us Something. Are We Listening?
Nearly 60% of youth with major depression receive no treatment. Not because help doesn't exist — but because the adults around them don't always know how to recognize the signs or respond in a way that builds trust rather than fear.
Youth Emotional First Aid™ (YEFA) trains the adults who are already in young people's lives — educators, coaches, parents, faith leaders, and community mentors — to become the first line of emotional support. This is not clinical training. This is trust-first, culturally aligned preparation to meet young people where they are.
What to Expect
Recognize
Learn to see the signs of emotional distress in youth — beyond the obvious behavioral changes.
Respond
Act with empathy, cultural competence, and trust-first language that builds connection.
Connect
Link youth to appropriate resources without creating fear or stigma. Build ongoing supportive relationships.
