Level 2 Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health
Neglecting the mental health needs of children and young people can have profound and far-reaching consequences, affecting not only their immediate well-being but also their future prospects and overall quality of life. The level 2 understanding children and young people’s mental health course develops the skills needed to understand mental health conditions that affect people. Learners will also explore the legislation and guidance surrounding mental health as well as understand the risk factors that may affect mental well-being and the impact that mental health concerns may have on young people and others. The course is delivered online and is self-study so can fit around your own work/life balance. Study when you want using the portal. There is no exam – you are able to submit your coursework, look at the feedback sent, enhance and improve your coursework based on the feedback and resubmit multiple times if you need to.

Access to this course is not possible at the same time as a learner is taking any apprenticeship (eg L3 Childcare). If you are doing an apprenticeship with York Learning or any other provider, you are able to access this course for free when you have completed your End Point Assessment for your apprenticeship. You are not able to access the course for free whilst you are still registered on your apprenticeship.
If you are on any other workbased learning course which is NOT an apprenticeship you are able to access this course for free at the same time as your other course, albeit we recommend again not trying to do too much simultaneously and suggest doing this course as a followup to/before your other desired L3/L5 course.

This is a substantial course of over 100 guided learning hours. It involves a significant amount of coursework submission and it is almost certain that feedback will guide you to change and improve some of your coursework. It is not a course in which you can assume you will get through it quickly. Please ensure that you have considered how you will structure your study time for this course over a period of months before you sign up for the course.

Employers value employees who have strong transferable skills, as they tend to have the tools to help them go beyond their job description.
