Course programme

The parents often have to deal with very distressing issues and will have specific support needs. The course will examine your role when working with these parents and consider how to respond effectively to their needs.

The course is built around research which asked parents about their experiences and needs. We draw on the voices of these parents throughout the course, and consider the recommendations for practice that have emerged from the research.

All participants receive a copy of the research report.

The course covers:

  • Understanding mental health issues in young people
  • The parents' perspective - what parents say they need
  • Recommendations for practice
  • Helping parents to help their young person
  • Information sources and signposting
  • Your role with parents
