The Mental Health Association in New York State (MHANYS), in partnership with the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), is expanding access to Mental Health First Aid in school and community settings across New York State. Launched in Fall 2022, the Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Across NYS initiative focuses on training adults who work with and support young people ages 12–18.
Through this effort, educators, school staff, parents, caregivers, and youth-serving professionals build the skills needed to recognize signs of mental health challenges, respond early, and connect young people to appropriate support. In Fall 2023, MHANYS expanded this work to include Teen Mental Health First Aid (teenMHFA)—an evidence-based program designed specifically for teens ages 14–18.
Teen MHFA empowers young people to recognize signs of mental health and substance use challenges in their peers, start supportive conversations, and seek help from a trusted adult when needed. Beginning in Summer 2025, MHANYS further strengthened this statewide approach by increasing access to Youth and Teen MHFA instructor development and providing ongoing support to schools, youth-serving organizations, and community partners.
This expansion helps ensure communities across New York State have the capacity to sustainably offer Youth and Teen MHFA and respond to the mental health needs of young people. Schools, youth-serving organizations, community groups, and individuals can play an important role in expanding Youth and Teen Mental Health First Aid across New York State.
