LSCB – Introduction to Children and Young People’s Mental Health

This multi agency event is presented and delivered by YOUNG MINDS
(www.youngminds.org.uk)

They are recognised within this particular area of safeguarding and have delivered training to many agencies in a variety of settings.

Children and young people’s mental health is everybody’s business and having an awareness of mental health issues enables us to better identify and support children and young people in need.

This multidisciplinary course will enable participants from a wide range of backgrounds to consider how, through their role:

• They can promote the mental health and well being of children and young people.
• Identify early mental health problems and work together with others to improve access to services and support

Target Audience
