The mental health of young people in the UK is giving grave concern nationally. However, those who work with Post 16 students can greatly assist in helping young people manage issues of anxiety, depression, self-harm, family difficulties and relationships by understanding what underpins some of the more common mental health issues affecting young adults.

Delegates on this course will benefit from learning about the causes and symptoms of poor mental health, how to approach young people who are exhibiting signs of distress and develop practical strategies to help support them.
