Our comprehensive curriculum covers the foundational theories and techniques for working with CYP, equipping you with practical skills to support children and young people in overcoming challenges related to anxiety, depression, phobias, and other mental health issues. Through interactive workshops, case studies, and supervised practice, you will gain first hand experience and confidence in working with CYP.

This course is structured as one full day of training each week over a period of 12 weeks. Following the completion of these sessions, participants will have an additional three months to fulfil their required practice hours, complete any remaining coursework, and meet the assessment criteria. This flexible timeline is designed to support your learning and allow you to balance your professional commitments while progressing through the programme.
