Abstract

Many youth in juvenile justice settings meet criteria for a mental health condition. Front line staff need to be able to recognize and respond to their needs, but training is often lacking. Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) is an 8-hour training for adults without mental health education to recognize and assist distressed youth. This study surveyed 1,279 [State blinded] DJS front-line staff trained in YMHFA. Of 338 returned surveys (26% response), 44% reported using YMHFA skills at work, 56% in preventing a crisis, 25% during crises. Respondents rated YMHFA as significantly improving their responsiveness to distressed young people.

青少年精神健康急救:青少年司法人员培训协助有精神健康问题的青少年

少年司法机构中的许多青少年符合精神健康状况的标准。一线工作人员需要能够认识到他们的需求并作出反应，但往往缺乏培训。青少年心理健康急救(YMHFA)是一项针对未接受过心理健康教育的成年人的8小时培训，旨在识别和帮助陷入困境的青少年。本研究调查了1279名接受过YMHFA培训的dj一线工作人员。在收到的338份调查(26%的答复)中，44%报告在工作中使用了YMHFA技能，56%用于预防危机，25%用于危机期间。受访者认为YMHFA显著提高了他们对痛苦年轻人的反应能力。
