Public Health England has developed new training on how to provide practical and emotional support to children and young people affected by emergencies or crisis situations.
The training is for all those who work and support children and young people. Find out more👇
From tomorrow teachers, health and social care workers, parents and carers and anyone that works with or is regularly in contact with those under the age of 25 will be able to access our new Psychological First Aid training for children and young people gov.uk/government/news/psych…
ALT Clare Perkins, Director of the Mental Health Programme at Public Health England said: “The pandemic has caused significant disruption to all of our daily lives. Children are among the worse impacted being stuck at home and not able to have the essential social interaction with their friends. And many young people are anxious and worried about their future in these uncertain times. “Children and young people will react to the COVID-19 pandemic in different ways. The Psychological First Aid training course will help professionals, volunteers, parents and carers better identify the signs of those who are struggling and give them timely effective support that is right for them – helping them feel safe and able to help themselves.”
