We’ve updated one of our most popular courses

At Emerging Minds, we routinely review content to ensure our resources reflect the most current research and sector developments.

We recently updated Understanding child mental health, a foundational course that aims to help practitioners learn about, understand and support positive mental health and wellbeing for children aged 0–12 years.

The update includes new information about:

  • What shapes infant and child mental health
  • The influence of child development on mental health
  • How the parent–child relationship influences mental health
  • The broader context around the child and its effects on their mental health
  • Five practice perspective shifts you can try when seeking to understand child mental health.

The updated course is now live on Emerging Minds Learning. We hope you find it educational, practical and engaging.
