Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health

Young people have broken barriers in talking openly about mental health, but the issues they face can last well into adulthood. This course will help you develop the knowledge and confidence to understand and support the mental health of children and young people.

You’ll explore the context of mental health in today’s society, learn about the factors that can influence emotional wellbeing, and gain insight into common mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and behavioural disorders. The course also looks at the impact these issues can have on a young person’s development, relationships, and education.

Finally, you’ll discover practical ways to offer early support, promote positive mental health, and respond appropriately to concerns—whether you’re working in education, childcare, health, or simply supporting young people in your community.
