Understanding Children and Young People’s Mental Health Certificate L2

Being a young person these days has more pressure than ever before. Mental health problems amongst the young are becoming more common as bullying, exams and social media have all added to their mental strain. We recommend this course to anyone who wishes to gain a better understanding of the mental health issues which affect young people. This could be teachers, parents, support workers, or charity workers wishing to improve their knowledge of topics such as how children express feelings, the impacts of bullying and tackling social stigma

We ask that learners complete their courses within the given timeframe and that as a broad average most courses can take approximately 6-8 hours per week to complete. However, timeframes are flexible on a person-by-person basis should any learners require reasonable adjustments to their study plans.
