This module provides an introduction to psychological and developmental processes experienced by children and young people and considers how these can have an impact on their mental health and wellbeing. Through a series of online lectures, seminars and reflective activities you will have an opportunity to develop an understanding of those factors that can increase the risk of children and young people developing mental health difficulties. You will be encouraged to develop knowledge and confidence in the identification of risk and the use of practical strategies that can build resilience.
