Course Overview
This regulated one-day training course offers a nationally recognised Level 2 FAA Award and Qualification. The course is available through classroom-based or online delivery and is accompanied by a course manual.
The course has been designed with children and young people in mind, covering areas such as stress, anxiety, self-harm, eating disorders and bullying, and will provide the knowledge and skills to identify a potential mental health condition.

Participants will not be taught how to diagnose or treat mental health conditions, as this can only be carried out by professionals who have the appropriate knowledge, experience and qualifications.
