Teen Mental Health First Aid

Teen Mental Health First Aid, or tMHFA, is an evidence-based training program for students in grades 10-12 that teaches the skills to recognize and aid their peers experiencing mental health and substance use challenges and crises, including how to quickly get the help of an adult. The Maya Gold Foundation believes the teen Mental Health First Aid training is an invaluable resource for teens, especially during these difficult times. We are currently able to offer this training to high schools and youth groups at no-cost thanks to our partnership with HealthAlliance Hospitals and Westchester Medical Center health Network.

BPBR is on the Office of Adolescent Health’s list of approved evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention programs. Since 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has led a review of the teen pregnancy prevention research to help identify programs with evidence of effectiveness in reducing teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and associated sexual risk behaviors. The main purpose of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Evidence Review is to assess programs for demonstrated positive impacts on sexual risk behavior and sexual health outcomes. Programs on the list have been shown to be effective in changing young people’s sexual behaviors.
