Our Programs

Teen Mental Health First Aid

Teen Mental Health First Aid (Teen MHFA) teaches teens in grades 9–12, generally ages 14–18, how to recognize when a friend may be experiencing a mental health or substance-use challenge and how to connect them with a parent, guardian, or trusted adult.


Teens learn the ROLE Action Plan:

  • R — Recognize signs
  • O — Open a conversation
  • L — Link to a parent, guardian, or trusted adult
  • E — Encourage your friend


The goal is not to turn teens into counselors. It is to give them the confidence to notice, care, connect, and get an adult involved when help is needed. Certified instructors provide this training. More Info>>

Youth Mental Health First Aid

Youth Mental Health First Aid (Youth MHFA) teaches adults how to support young people ages 12–18 who may be experiencing mental health or substance-use challenges. It is designed for parents, teachers, coaches, mentors, youth leaders, and other adults who regularly interact with teens. 


Participants learn how to recognize signs, listen without judgment, provide initial support, and connect a young person with appropriate help. Certified instructors provide this training.  More Info>>

Mindfulness for Teens

Teen life can bring pressure from school, relationships, sports, social media, family expectations, and uncertainty about the future.


Our interactive mindfulness sessions introduce teens to simple practices they can use to better understand their thoughts and emotions and manage everyday stress and anxious feelings.

Sessions may include:

  • Mindful breathing — Simple ways to pause and reset.
  • Stress awareness — Recognizing how stress shows up in the mind and body.
  • Emotional check-ins — Learning to notice feelings without immediately reacting.
  • Self-care — Building healthy routines that support mental wellbeing.

Just like physical fitness, mental wellbeing benefits from regular practice.

Substance-Use & Overdose Prevention

Mental Fitness for Teens works with community partners to raise awareness about substance use, counterfeit pills, fentanyl, opioid overdose prevention, naloxone, and fentanyl test strips.


As part of our community outreach, we help assemble naloxone and fentanyl test strip kits, distribute prevention resources, and educate teens, families, and community members about overdose risks and how these tools can help reduce harm.


Our goal is to make trusted prevention information and potentially life-saving resources more accessible while encouraging open, informed conversations about substance use and fentanyl.
