Who is it for: Professionals working with children and young people. Duration/format: 11-day training, live online or in person Admission Requirements: No previous training required, delegates will need to be working in a setting with children and young people.
A practical skills-based course, underpinned by evidence-based research studies. Designed to inform and empower staff to respond effectively to vulnerable children/ young people who have experienced trauma and/or have mental health issues by delivering interventions addressing mild to moderate mental health problems, with a focus on recovery. VISION AND AIMS The government Green Paper, ‘Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision’ (December 2017), states: There is evidence that appropriately trained and supported staff such as teachers, teaching assistants can achieve results comparable to those achieved by trained therapists in delivering a number of interventions addressing mild to moderate mental health problems (anxiety, conduct disorder, substance use disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder.” This training provides the core skills to make this possible, informed by cutting edge research on what brings about trauma recovery. The training also includes the knowledge and skills for cultural change resulting in mentally healthy schools and communities (for both adults and children). The curriculum covers interventions designed specifically to address teacher stress, teacher absence and poor staff retention. So if you want to change vulnerable children’s lives, reduce exclusions, improve pupil attendance and staff retention, while positively impacting on the mental health of the school culture as a whole, then this certificated training is a must.
"I can honestly say that it was, by far, the best, most insightful, profoundly moving, expertly evidenced, endlessly interesting and fascinating, relevant and (as I’m sure will be testified to before long) most useful training I have received in my teaching career." 2020 Delegate
