AIM Youth Mental Health

AIM is dedicated to solving the youth mental health crisis by equipping young people with the tools and support they need to lead mentally healthy lives. To achieve this goal, AIM operates three programs focused on training, youth empowerment, and scientific research. The Youth Mental Health First Aid program trains caring adults to recognize and respond to youth mental health challenges. The Ideas Lab empowers teenagers to discover their own mental health solutions through research, peer conversations, and presenting their ideas to educators, parents, researchers, and policy makers. AIM’s Scientific Advisory Board supports clinical research, advancing the implementation of evidence-based mental health treatments that alleviate symptoms and save lives. Through these programs, AIM brings together educators, parents, and caring professionals to support young people in achieving lifelong mental wellness.
