Abstract

This capstone project focuses on developing a tracking system for the Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) program offered by AIM Youth Mental Health. The program, which helps both youth and community members address trauma and mental health crises, lacks an organized system to track participant data. This project addresses this gap by creating a comprehensive Excel spreadsheet that records essential participant information. The tracker will document data starting from 2022 and will be updated regularly as new trainings occur. By implementing this tracking system, AIM Youth Mental Health will be able to demonstrate the program's effectiveness to potential funders and stakeholders, ultimately increasing community participation and outreach. The project resulted in an improvement agency wide in organization and access to program information which met expected outcomes of this project. Agency next steps to address the problem include continuation of the YMHFA training and research of youth mental health.
