Dear students, parents, guardians,
Thanks to the Mental Health Commission, Richmond Foundation will be providing Youth Mental Health First Aid to our educators and teen Mental Health First Aid to all of our year 9 students. The courses are being offered to most schools in Malta and Gozo.
Lessons for Year 9 students
Whilst our teachers are being trained, lessons for Year 9 students are also being offered. The Teen Mental Health First Aid course is a program that teaches adolescents how to support a friend who is experiencing mental health problems. It is complimentary to the adult course and this course runs over three classroom sessions of 75 minutes each at the school premises and emphasises the importance of young people getting an adult involved as quickly as possible where mental health problems might be suspected.
The students need to fill in an individual registration form. This is to be done through the website:

Yours sincerely,
The School Administration
