Description
Explore the connection between childhood adversity and mental health, and enhance your knowledge of mental health in young people.
Learn how childhood trauma impacts a child’s beliefs, behaviour, and development
We know half of all mental health conditions emerge before age fourteen, but there’s a need for a greater understanding of young people’s mental wellbeing.
On this course, you’ll improve your understanding of how early adverse experiences can impact a young person’s mental health.
You’ll learn from world leaders in child development and hear from educators in disciplines like neuroscience and educational psychology.
Using evidence-based research, you’ll examine the different ways childhood trauma can influence an individual’s psychological state, educational outcomes and social difficulties.
