About our training
Half of all mental health problems present in young people by the age of 14. The adults around young people can play a huge part in supporting their mental health and stopping their needs escalating.
Our training courses are designed to build your understanding of key mental health issues and give you the confidence to make a difference in young people's lives.
At YoungMinds, the experiences of professionals, and the young people they work with, are at the heart of our training programme. Each year we deliver training to over 10,000 professionals, and our expert trainers give you the practical skills to support the young people you work with.
Our courses draw on the insights from the thousands of children and young people, families and professionals that we work with every year.
We value discussion and run courses in a relaxed and supportive way so you can build confidence in your new skills and reflect on your development.
We keep things practical by sharing experiences, giving practical tips and advice, sharing good practice, and exploring ideas through discussion and group work.
We bring professionals from different disciplines together in one place to share knowledge and learn about young people’s mental health in different settings.
Our online workshops are held on Zoom and offer an interactive and collaborative experience. With two facilitators available in each workshop, we provide a safe learning space for everyone to feel empowered to make a difference for children and young people.
