    Modules covered

    1. Understanding mental health & well-being introduces factors that contribute to positive mental health and wellbeing.
    2. Nature and nurture explores how early experiences shape the way we perceive ourselves and relate to others, and how those experiences create the pathways in the brain that support our development. 
    3. How can I help? Considers what a child’s or young person’s behaviour might be communicating about their underlying needs.
    4. Mental health: everybody’s business. This module reflects on the importance of positive mental health for everyone with a focus on the adults around the child or young person.
