Introduction :
Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Course is an internationally standardized 14-hour mental health educational program. The course teaches adults how to assist adolescents who are developing mental health problem or in a mental health crisis. Course participants learn about adolescent development, the signs and symptoms of the common and disabling mental health problems in young people and how to provide first aid in a crisis situation. The course content covers depression, anxiety, eating disorder, substance abuse and psychosis. It also covers the ways about how to handle deliberate self-harm, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, aggressive behaviors and severe psychotic states. This project is a pilot project collaborated with University and Kwai Tsing Safe Community and Healthy City Association from Aug 2017 to Aug 2018. It aims not only to increase the participants’ mental health literacy, but also reduce stigmatization towards mental illness in the community.

At the end of course, the evaluation form will be collected to explore their perceived benefits.

The result of pre (Mean=14.08 , SD=1.615 ) and posttest (Mean=19.14 SD=0.416 ) were measured. Statistically showed improvement was found in mental health literacy. (Adjustedβ=3.15, 95% CI=4.704 to 5.423, p< 0.05 by GEE Model). It implicated that the understanding of mental disorders and treatments, the skills of help-seeking efficacy and the ways of obtaining good mental health care had been shown in positive impact.
