Mental health problems affect around 1 in 10 children and young people. These issues include depression, anxiety and conduct disorder and can often be a direct response to occurrences in their lives. Emotional wellbeing is just as important as a child's mental health, therefore it is important for those working with children and young people to have a good understanding of the concepts, risk factors and impact of mental health.

Learners will be assessed through a series of online assignments completed independently via our ESCG eLearning platform. Each unit contains written tasks designed to check your understanding of the course content and your ability to apply knowledge in practical or workplace-related scenarios.
All assessments are submitted online and marked by qualified tutors. You will receive constructive feedback to help you progress through the course and meet the learning outcomes.
We recommend studying 4–6 hours per week to maintain steady progress and complete assessments within the expected timeframe.
