The aims for the Year 1 of the course are to extend your clinical skill sets, training them in a range of clinical presentations, including OCD, self-harm, tics, trauma-informed practice, and emotionally based school absence (EBSA). It also focuses on supporting neurodivergent children and young people, such as those with autism and ADHD and children and young people with learning disabilities. Additionally, throughout Year 2, the course develops your skills in supervising trainee low-intensity practitioners, teaching them how supervision can enhance trainees’ understanding of multi-agency systems.
You will be introduced to current theories, models, and interventions relevant to working with the presentations and individuals described above. This training will enable you to support the development of the new child mental health workforce in schools and communities. It specifically aims to develop practitioners for essential positions within children and young people’s mental health (CYP MH) in the NHS and beyond.
The course is nationally commissioned to enhance the employability and effectiveness of low-intensity practitioners, ultimately improving the experiences of children, young people, and their families in inclusive mental health services. You will be expected to remain in these roles, bringing more developed skills in interventions and supervision.
The UCL-Anna Freud Partnership uniquely benefits from expert teaching and tutoring staff who are drawn from several NHS Trusts, which is highly valued by students across all our courses.
