Description
This free badged course, Supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing, lasts 24 hours and is comprised of eight sessions. You can work through the course at your own pace, so if you have more time one week there is no problem with pushing on to complete a further study session. The eight sessions are linked to ensure a logical flow through the course. They are:
Setting the scene by looking at the past
Increasing your knowledge of mental health
Mental health promotion and education
A global view of children’s mental health and wellbeing
Wellbeing and mental health in education settings
Professional support for children and their mental health
Exploring some of the interventions to support children’s mental health
The influence of screen time on young children’s mental health and wellbeing
Each session should take you around 3 hours. There are a number of activities throughout the course where you are asked to note down your response. A text box is provided for you to do this, however if you would prefer to record your answers in another way that is fine.
At the end of each session there is also a quiz to help you check your understanding. And, if you want to receive a formal statement of participation, at the end of Sessions 4 and 8 there is a quiz which you need to pass.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
understand the influences on mental health in young children age 0–5
identify the factors that contribute to good mental health in children
explore national and global influences on children’s mental health
develop knowledge about strategies and interventions to improve mental health in children
