Understanding Young People’s Mental Health

Description
This training will be relevant to all Foster Carers particularly those looking after teenagers who are experiencing difficult thoughts, feelings, experiences or behaviours. Adolescence is a difficult time for some and most young people will have learnt the skills in early life to help them navigate this transition themselves.

Some young people require additional supports with particular difficulties including eating disorders, self-harm and periods of crisis. In this interactive and participative session, we will explore these areas and what supports are available to young people and their families when they are experiencing crisis but also how the adults around them can support them.
