YoungMinds Mental Health Training Course

The course gives a general introduction to children and young people’s mental health, developed with insight from young people, parents and professionals. It is aimed at school staff to help them to understand mental health, to spot signs that their pupils might be struggling, and to understand how this can impact on behaviour, attendance and attainment. We will look at what teachers and school staff can do to have a positive impact on young people’s mental health and how they can help to build their resilience.

Content from the course covers:

• What we know are the most common mental health issues and illnesses that young people face
• What we can do to support young people experiencing, or at risk of, mental health problems
• Signs and symptoms that young people might be experiencing mental illness
• Myths and stigma
