Boxing Ireland is providing a Youth Mental Health First Aid course in June. Youth Mental Health First Aid (Youth MHFA) is designed for adults who live with, work with or support young people aged between 12 and 18.
Participants who undertake Youth MHFA Training will learn how to assist a young person who may be experiencing a mental health problem or a mental health crisis until appropriate professional help is received, or the crisis resolves, using a practical, evidence-based action plan.
There is no cost to attend this training but places are very limited. Each place on this training, valued at €350.00, is fully funded by the HSE partnership with Mental Health First Aid Ireland.
Dates: Wednesday 3rd June and Friday 5th June 2026
Times: 09.30-16.30 each day (attendance in full on both days is compulsory) Please only book a place if you are available to attend the training in full

Training will be provided by Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructors from Boxing Ireland and West Sligo Family Resource Centre.
Important:
- YMHFA training is not a therapy/support group and is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18 to attend.
- If you have experienced a recent crisis or bereavement linked to mental health, Mental Health First Aid Ireland recommends that you wait 12-18 months before attending YMHFA training.
