Could You Help a Friend in Crisis?
Imagine sitting with friends, laughter filling the air—until you notice one of your closest friends withdrawing. Their smile fades, their energy dims. You want to help, but you’re unsure how. What do you do?
At Akoma Unity Center, we believe no teen should feel helpless when a friend is struggling. That’s why we’re offering the Teen Mental Health First Aid (tMHFA) Certification Program, an empowering initiative that equips youth aged 12-18 with the skills to recognize mental health challenges and take meaningful action.

Why Mental Health Training for Teens Matters
Life is tough—stress, school, social pressures, and personal struggles weigh heavily on young minds. Did you know that one in five teens experiences a mental health challenge each year? Many suffer in silence, fearing judgment or unsure where to turn for support.
This program isn’t just another class—it’s a life-changing experience where teens will learn to:
- Recognize when a friend is struggling with anxiety, depression, or a crisis
- Start a conversation that could make all the difference
- Provide immediate support in a mental health emergency
- Connect friends with the right resources—without feeling overwhelmed
A Free Mental Health Certification for Teens
The best part? This program is completely free! Parents don’t have to worry about costs—just the valuable knowledge their teen will gain to support their friends and community.
