Mental Health Champions Launch
Target audience
This course is suitable for leaders who are wanting to identify the right person for the role or for practitioners who are wanting to take on this role.
About this course
Early childhood is a crucial period for mental health development, shaping the foundations for lifelong emotional wellbeing and resilience. During these years, children undergo rapid physical, social, and emotional growth, making the role of nurturing, attuned adults essential.
This course equips early years practitioners with the knowledge and confidence to become Mental Health Champions within their settings. By strengthening their awareness and skills, practitioners will be better prepared to identify concerns early, promote positive mental health, and embed wellbeing practices throughout daily routines and interactions.
