Child and Youth Mental Health
Description
The Child and Youth Mental Health certificate provides you with an in-depth understanding of the complex and multi-faceted field of child and youth mental health. We will be exploring areas such as development, risk factors and early indicators through our selection of workshops. You will learn about some of the most common mental health issues affecting children and youth, such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), anxiety, depression and trauma. Workshops are available on a variety of treatment options, such as CBT, expressive arts, mindfulness and play therapy. The unique needs of grieving youth and gender independent and trans children will be explored.
Throughout the program there will be an emphasis on a collaborative approach to children's mental health and how to work effectively with the support systems surrounding the youth, including schools, family and other professionals.
