Mental Health Awareness
Understanding mental health challenges, recognising early signs, offering support, and maintaining personal wellbeing.
This training is designed to help foster carers and professionals understand why mental health is a significant issue for many children and young people in care. It explores how to recognise early signs of mental health difficulties, how to offer appropriate support, and the importance of safeguarding one’s own mental wellbeing when working in emotionally demanding environments. Children and young people in care consistently experience higher rates of mental health challenges than their peers. This session helps foster carers and practitioners identify when a young person may be struggling, understand potential triggers, and explore sources of support. It also highlights the importance of professionals looking after their own mental health and resilience.
