May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s more important than ever that every caring adult gets involved in what the Surgeon General has called an ‘all-of-society effort’ to support our youth’s mental wellbeing.

One important step anyone can take to get involved is by signing up for a Youth Mental Health First Aid course.
