The Government is committed to ensuring that all children and young people, no matter where they live, have access to high-quality mental health and wellbeing support linked to their school or college and their vision is set out in the Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision: Green Paper December 2017.

Key elements of this commitment are to ensure "a member of staff in every primary and secondary school in England receives mental health awareness training" and "every school and college identifies a Designated Senior Lead for Mental Health to oversee the approach to mental health and wellbeing."

 

The training will discuss how to:

  • Listen to a young person non-judgementally
  • Assess the risk of suicide and self-harm in a young person
  • Escalate to the appropriate Lead in the school and to emergency services if necessary
  • Maintain confidentiality as appropriate
  • Protect yourselves whilst performing their role

     

    Through a mix of presentations, discussions and activities, the course will cover these key topics:

    • What is mental health?

    • Depression and anxiety

    • Suicide and psychosis

    • Self-harm and eating disorders

     

    Everyone who completes the course will receive a copy of the Youth MHFA manual.
