Brief description Adolescents frequently look to peers for support when experiencing mental health problems. However, peers may lack the knowledge and skills to provide appropriate guidance and support. This project evaluates a new school-based training program for adolescents called 'teen Mental Health First Aid'. Preliminary evidence shows that this training is effective, but a more rigorous evaluation is needed. If effective, this program can be disseminated nationally and internationally by MHFA Australia.
