Upcoming Children's Hospital Youth Mental Health Class





Children’s Hospital would like to notify the community of their upcoming Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) class on Monday at the Sand Point Learning Center, formerly Center for Spiritual Living

Last March, Children's purchased the Center for Spiritual Living (CSL)  for $16,992,850.  It sits on 4.4 acre s with a  50,000-square foot building and is located about a mile north of the campus on Sand Point Way NE.

The 8-hour class is designed for all adults who regularly interact with adolescents 12 to 18 year of age and is offered in partnership with King County, USA Mental Health First Aid, and Chad’s Legacy.

The class description says:

Individuals will gain skills on how to help an adolescent in crisis or who is experiencing a mental health challenge. Similar to traditional first aid and CPR, mental health first aid is help provided to a person developing a mental health problem or experiencing a crisis before they can get professional treatment or the crisis resolves.



Children's Hospital told the Laurelhurst Blog that this information " is worth sharing with the Laurelhurst community since the class is offered so close and there are many families with adolescents in the area."
