Course overview
Everyone feels a little low sometimes. But, most of the time, you find a way to get back into a good headspace. For people with mental health issues, resetting often feels impossible, though. And children and young people who experience poor mental health can find it even harder to deal with.
Employees who work with children and young people, recognising mental health issues and responding correctly is part of safeguarding. But how do they know if a child or young person might be having more than just a bad day, and what do they need to do?
