The course begins by looking at what mental health problems children face and how common they are, as well as the factors that shape young people's mental wellbeing. You’ll gain an understanding of the current landscape and why awareness from an early age matters.
This part of the course explores the different ways children and young people may experience challenges, helping you build awareness without positioning you to diagnose. You’ll look at:
Everyday stressors and how they can affect children differently.
More complex mental health challenges that some may encounter.
The diversity of experiences that shape children’s mental wellbeing.
Some groups of children and young people may face increased risks to their mental wellbeing. You’ll learn about social, biological, and environmental influences, along with the protective factors that can support resilience and emotional growth.
This course on children’s mental health also looks at how services like Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) are structured in the UK, the challenges they face, and how wider community and family support can play a role. You’ll gain context for the systems in place to support management.
Social media and online life have a growing influence on children’s wellbeing. In this section, you’ll explore the potential positives and negatives of internet use and why developing healthy digital habits is important.
Schools and peer networks play a huge role in promoting children’s mental wellbeing. You’ll explore how education settings can help reduce stigma, encourage emotional literacy, provide gentle support, and introduce initiatives like peer mentoring and school-based counselling.
By completing this course on children’s mental health, you’ll receive a recognised certification that can be used for CPD or as a foundation for further study in psychology, education, and wellbeing.
