Course content
Teenagers learn about the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems in adolescents, how to recognise and respond to an emerging or worsening mental health problem, and the interventions and supports available.
Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, teenagers learn how to approach a friend or classmate they are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns. They also learn how to offer initial support and information, how to encourage their friend or peer to seek professional help, and when to seek the help of a trusted adult.
