This training aims to give an overview of OTR's understanding of adolescent mental health, and a grounding for other, more specialised, areas of training. It contains some activities about the variety of pressures and challenges that young people face, some information about common presentations of poor mental health and how to identify them, a way to theorise what influences an invididual's mental health (the biopsychosocial model), and some introductory information about working with self-harm and suicide.
By the end of it participants will have:

- Explored a variety of different techniques for supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people
- Built confidence in how to adapt and expand on these techniques to make them applicable to your area of work or personal life
- Developed your understanding of the current evidence-based approaches for various young people’s mental health interventions
- Explored the criticisms and barriers to implementing these approaches and developed some solution focused ideas as to how to make turn this training into sustainable change
Our training is particularly well placed for individuals and teams who work directly with young people.
