The Wellness & Prevention Foundation (dba Wellness & Prevention Center) proposes to implement a robust training program designed to increase the mental health and wellbeing of young people in South Orange County California. The Wellness & Prevention Center (WPC) is a respected no cost mental health provider to youth across several communities in South Orange County. Through partnerships with the Capistrano Unified School District, private schools, the University of California Irvine, the Orange County Healthcare Agency, social service providers, and health care providers, the WPC has been supporting youth and their families since its founding in 2014. The WPC proposes to hire a fulltime graduate level public health or mental health professional to coordinate and lead the training activities. The WPC will implement youth, adult, and teen Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) to increase the number of community members who are trained in recognizing the signs and symptoms of poor mental health among youth and young adults ages 12-25, are capable of intervening in a mental health crisis, and who know how to refer young people to mental health services. Over the five years of the program the WPC plans to train 2,500 adult and youth in MHFA in the South Orange County community.
