Safeguarding Young Minds
Mental health challenges do not spare the young. Recent studies by the Office for National Statistics show that approximately 10% of young people experience clinically recognisable mental health conditions.
Are you prepared to recognise and address mental health concerns among the children and adolescents you interact with? Do you know the signs that indicate a decline in mental well-being?
It is recommended to train at least two staff members (ideally of different genders) in Mental Health First Aid to ensure diverse perspectives and approaches.
