About this event
Mental health among youth is a rising global concern, and understanding learning disabilities like Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia is more crucial than ever. This comprehensive course, "Youth Mental Health", is designed to equip learners with evidence-based knowledge about mental health development in children, adolescents, and young adults. The curriculum integrates psychological theory, developmental neuroscience, and real-world application to build awareness, empathy, and intervention strategies.
Whether you're a parent, caregiver, teacher, or health professional, this course will offer deep insights into mental health challenges and learning disabilities that can impact youth. It also includes UK-specific legislative frameworks while maintaining a global applicability. Learn how attachment, trauma, developmental factors, and neurodivergence affect youth, and how to provide support and solutions through treatment and awareness.
We prioritize a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and developmentally appropriate lens throughout every module. As you advance through the modules, you’ll gain clarity on complex behavioral patterns, emotional triggers, and self-harming tendencies in young people.
