The early years of childhood are critical for development. Learning the significance of attachment and adverse experiences during this time is important to understand children’s mental health.
Children can be exposed to several traumatic experiences throughout their early years which can impact their mental health – and these experiences can contribute to mental health concerns in later life.
The programme provides a comprehensive exploration of mental health in early years, focusing on understanding mental health for young children, the critical significance of attachment and adverse childhood experiences, and the essential role of Early Years Practitioners in supporting children’s mental health and well-being. The curriculum aims to equip professionals with in-depth knowledge and strategies for nurturing children’s psychological development during crucial formative years.
