This Place2Be CPD-certified Mental Health Champions Foundation programme is an award-winning online free children’s mental health training course developed from their work in schools. The programme aims to:

  • enhance your understanding of children’s mental health
  • introduce approaches that foster positive wellbeing in schools and communities

The course is suitable for people working with children and young people of any age, such as teachers, school staff and youth workers.
