Valley Youth wants to support our community through this challenging time by offering fully subsidised, fully accredited, evidence-based training for our community.
The Youth Mental Health First Aid Course is for parents of adolescents (those aged between 12 and 18 years), however, the course can be relevant for those helping people who are a little younger or older.
This course is for parents and includes two components:
• A 4 hrs self-paced eLearning component (must be completed prior to the first instructor led session); and
• An Instructor-led component using video conferencing (3 sessions of 2.5 hours each).

Young people aged 16+ are now eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccination. Young people aged 16+ are now eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccination! If you’re aged 12-25 and are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, or have an underlying medical illness, you are also eligible.
Vaccines help a person’s body to recognise and fight against a virus that can cause serious illness.
When you get a vaccine, your body develops protection against the virus by helping the body create antibodies – special proteins that fight the virus. This protection specifically shields the body from the COVID-19 virus and is called an immune response.
COVID-19 vaccines do not contain COVID-19. You cannot get COVID-19 from having the vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccines will not change your genes or your DNA in any way.
You can book a vaccination appointment by going to: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/book-your-vaccine-appointment
