This course explores a wide range of mental health conditions commonly experienced in childhood and adolescence, as well as the impact these can have on development, behaviour, and daily life. Learners also examine the importance of early intervention, communication strategies, and the role of schools, healthcare services, and families in promoting positive mental health.
The qualification is ideal for anyone working with or supporting children and young people, including those in education, early years, youth work, social care, and healthcare settings—as well as parents and carers who want to deepen their understanding.
