‘The Trades Fit – Young Women in Trades and Tech’ is an inaugural expo hosted by the Victorian Department of Education and Training. The expo showcases employment options within the trades and tech industries, with interactive displays set up for students to experience what these careers could be.

Event Details
Mental health first aid is the help provided to someone who is developing a mental health problem, has a worsening of an existing mental health problem or is in a mental health crisis. The first aid is given until appropriate professional help is received or the crisis resolves. Mental health first aid strategies are taught in evidence-based training programs authorised by Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Australia and conducted by MHFA instructors across Australia.
The Accredited Youth Mental Health First Aid Course is for adults working with adolescents (up to 18 years of age), however the course is relevant for those helping people who are a little older.

Course Component 2
- Face-to-face workshop, 1 x 6 hours on Monday 10 October, 10.00am – 4.00pm at AEN training room, 83 Hobsons Road, Kensington.
