All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.

You’ll access and explore learning materials online, learning at your own pace. You’ll explore theoretical models and principles alongside practical interventions and approaches.

This course is relevant to anyone who’s working with children, young people and families where mental health is an issue. Your professional background could be in nursing, allied health, education, social work, charitable/project work. And you don't necessarily need to have had previous training within mental health.
