Level 2 Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health
Supporting the mental health of children and young people is so important—it not only helps them feel better now, but also sets them up for a brighter future. This course is designed to help you build the skills and knowledge you need to make a real difference. You’ll learn about different mental health conditions, explore current legislation and guidance, and discover the factors that can influence young people’s well-being.

The course is delivered entirely online, so you can study at your own pace and fit learning around your work and life commitments. There’s no exam to worry about—instead, you’ll complete coursework, receive helpful feedback, and have the opportunity to improve and resubmit your work as many times as you like. It’s a flexible, supportive way to learn and grow your understanding of this important topic!

This course isn’t just for people who work directly with children and young people—it’s perfect for anyone who’s interested in understanding their mental health or who might find this knowledge helpful in their current job. This can open doors to further study and a wide range of careers, including health and social care, childcare, counselling, and education. This is online learning, with three compulsory live one-hour video sessions, one to onboard and two in-learning. Prior to enrolment, a member of our teaching staff will contact you to discuss the course and expectations in greater detail. If your application is successful then you will be sent login details to the portal, via email. Following each learning module you will complete an assessment and submit this for marking via the portal.

It would be hugely advantageous to you to have access to a laptop/PC – doing it via a tablet/phone will be extremely challenging. You will need internet access. We estimate that the average learner will need to spend 5-6 hours a week for the 20 weeks in order to successfully complete this course.

You are unable to access this course for free while enrolled in any apprenticeship (e.g., L3 Childcare). Once you have completed your End Point Assessment, you may access the course for free, regardless of provider.

This is a substantial course (100+ guided learning hours) with significant coursework. Please plan your study time carefully over several months.
