This course has been created for teachers supporting the mental health of children and young people. It should help you to recognise positive strategies that you already use as well as things that you can do to better support children and young people, examples of this include the use of grounding strategies, Corridor Counselling, Five Minute Mentoring, and helping them to co-regulate.
This course will take about one and a half to two and a half hours to complete, but this timing will depend on how fast you read and how long you spend on the questions. You do not need to complete the whole course in one go. You can take a break at any point. If you leave and come back to the course it will remember where you got up to.
Course updated: March 2025.
This course is for education and information only. It does not give therapy, medical advice or professional support. If you need crisis support, please contact local mental health services, your GP or telephone 111 or the emergency services.
