This is a full-day 6-hour training designed to equip school staff with the appropriate awareness of child mental health. This course will complement any other Child Mental Health courses you have undertaken before and is more for staff who already have experience of working with children who are particularly at risk of developing poor mental health. This course is practical and explores how to write recovery plans to support pupils who have issues in different areas.
Lots of mental health practitioners describe their role as ‘firefighting’ regarding treating people with mental health issues. Wouldn’t it be great if schools spotted the triggers in children and young people got the help they needed before it developed into something serious? This training is looking at the main conditions and gives you the chance to develop action plans and think critically about what resources would be best suited to your setting.
