About the Course
Many children experience mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, and conduct disorder, which can be directly linked to their life experiences.
The emotional health of a child is as important as their mental health, so it's crucial for those working with children and teens to have a solid understanding of mental health concepts, risk factors, and impacts.
