Who is it for?
Empower Teachers and Education Leaders to Support Their Students
The most recent Mental Health America report found that 16% of youth (ages 12-17) had at least one major depressive episode in the past year. Suicide is the second-most common cause of death in college students. It’s clear young people need more mental health support, and educators are in a unique position to help if they have the right training and tools.
Psych Hub’s Mental Health Ally for Educators provides specialized courses and resources for educators so they can better understand mental health issues in children and young adults and know how to be an advocate and ally in times of crisis.
A Certificate for Teachers and School Administrators
Educators have a lot on their plates these days, so mental health education needs to be both flexible and time-efficient. With Mental Health Ally for Educators, teachers and administrators can take our series of 10 courses at a self-directed pace.
Educators who complete five out of 10 courses and pass post-tests will receive a Mental Health Ally for Educators Certificate, which demonstrates their proficiency and commitment to a mentally-safe and supportive school setting for all.
