GSSC is excited to partner with The Association for Mental Health and Wellness in offering this exclusive training for volunteers and Ambassador Girl Scouts age 18 or over.  This course teaches the risk factors and warning signs of a variety of mental health challenges common among adolescents and how to support a youth developing signs and symptoms of a mental illness or an emotional crisis.  This interactive session will give volunteers the power to manage challenging issues within their troop and the confidence and skills to maximize the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.  Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a 3 year nationally recognized certification as a Youth Mental Health First Aider provided by Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) USA
