Mental health problems can affect anybody at any time, regardless of gender, ethnicity or age. Research shows that one in eight children and young people have a diagnosable health condition, so if you spend time around children it's likely that you'll come into contact with a child who is struggling.
This course provides you with a detailed understanding of child mental health. It explains some of the common emotional, behavioural and hyperkinesis disorders, how you can identify and support a child who may be struggling, and how to promote positive mental health and wellbeing. By the end of this training, you will be confident in your ability to support any child who may need it.
