About this Event
This Level 2 CPD Accredited course is a 1 Day Classroom Training course.

Course Purpose
The Level 2 First Aid for Youth Mental Health CPD accredited course is suitable for anyone who actively connects with children such as parents, carers, teachers, youth group leaders and young adults.
The course has been designed with children and young people in mind covering areas such as depression, self-harm, eating disorders and bullying and will provide the knowledge and skills to identify a potential mental health condition, start a conversation, and provide support and guidance to professional help.
