Overview

Mental Health: Problems and Treatments in Child and Adolescent explores how young people experience anxiety, mood changes, behaviour difficulties, and learning differences—and how early, well-structured support changes outcomes. You’ll connect core concepts of child development with practical awareness of how difficulties can evolve across adolescence and, in some cases, into adulthood, so responses are timely, compassionate, and consistent.

Ideal for teaching assistants, youth workers, early-career counsellors, SEN coordinators, and informed parents or carers, this course maps the landscape of common challenges alongside neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. You’ll learn how environments—home, school, and community—shape presentation, and how multi-disciplinary teamwork and clear communication sustain progress for children, teens, and families.

Your toolkit will include recognition and basic screening principles, behaviour and routine frameworks, classroom accommodations, family-centred collaboration, and safeguarding-aware referral pathways. You’ll gain a plain-English overview of therapeutic options and the role of medication—what it aims to achieve, limits, and how to liaise appropriately with professionals—so your support is confident, ethical, and aligned with best practice. Leave with language, structures, and habits you can use immediately to steady difficult moments and guide next steps.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
