数据显示，全美四分之一的青少年存在不同程度的心理健康问题，近年来因抑郁症导致的悲剧性事件更引发广泛关注。为了提升公众对青少年心理健康的认知，并帮助他们正确应对心理困境，紫鹭艺术中心 (Purple Swans Corporation) 特邀 新泽西心理健康协会 (Mental Health Association in New Jersey) 共同举办“青少年心理健康急救” (Youth Mental Health First Aid) 培训。

“青少年心理健康援助”课程主要针对与青少年接触的成人（ 如父母，家庭成员，老师，教练等）。通过培训，学员可以了解青少年面临的心理健康挑战，探索青少年青春期发展常态，学习一套颇具实用性的“五步操作方案“，以用于帮助处于心理危机状态和非危机状态下的青少年。课程涵盖的话题包括焦虑、抑郁、药物滥用、容易引发神经疾病的心理障碍、破坏性行为障碍（包括注意缺陷多动障碍AD/HD）和进食障碍等。

培训形式：英文授课，小组讨论，角色扮演，观看录像，练习等

培训时间：2025年5月17日 (周六） 8:30am-4:30pm

培训地点：Summit Community Center (100 Morris Ave, Summit, NJ 07901)

注册费：   每人$10,不退款  (注: 原价$250的一整天青少年心理健康认证培训，因为紫鹭的赞助，免费向公众提供。仅象征性收取$10报名费，以避免重现注册者无故不参加培训也不提前告知，浪费宝贵培训机会。同时，紫鹭将免费向学员提供培训日的早餐、中餐和点心。)
