Mental health is a key ingredient in helping children to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. Without positive mental health, children and young people are at risk for a range of difficulties. But how does positive mental health develop, and how can we help children and young people who are struggling?
This one-day course gave participants an invaluable understanding of mental health and relevant strategies to support young people. Key learning included:
Teachers of children with visual impairment, teachers of deaf children, class teachers, support for learning teachers and assistants, educational psychologists, social workers, and parents/carers.
