Parents and teenagers aged between 12-15 years in Victoria are invited to take part in a research study lead by Professor Tony Jorm from The University of Melbourne. Parents will be randomly placed into either a 14 hour Youth Mental Health First Aid course or a 15 hour Australian Red Cross First Aid course, commencing 14-15 January 2012. The study will assess whether parents who are trained in physical or mental health first aid respond differently to teenagers who develop physical or mental health problems. The project has received ethics approval (ID: 1135679) and is funded by a National Health and Medical Research Council Australia Fellowship. For a list of course dates and locations, go to
