This course aims to train a new workforce for child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) Children’s Wellbeing Practitioners (CWPs).
The course is only available to those who have been offered a CWP trainee role in one of our partnering sites.
The content of the curriculum is specified at a national level and covers a range of evidence-based interventions currently available for work with children and young people (CYP) and their families experiencing mental health and common behaviour difficulties. Teaching is provided by highly experienced practitioners and supported by supervisors within the work setting. Supervisors oversee the day-to-day work with CYP.
CWP graduates will complement the work of existing practitioners by building better links with communities and offering rapid access to low-intensity, evidence-based treatment interventions, for mild to moderate mental health difficulties.
Themes and topics covered throughout the year include consideration of how to work with young people and their parents/carers; development of CWP skills; understanding anxiety, depression and common behaviour difficulties, and exploring the evidence base for low-intensity interventions and guided self-help (GSH) treatments currently available in these areas. Furthermore, CWP trainees will work towards increasing accessibility to services by working with diverse populations from a community based and primary care service model, including prevention, health promotion, group work, training others/consultations skills, as well as 1–1 interventions with young people and parents/carers.
