The MA Child and Adolescent Mental Health is for people who work with, or intend to work with children or young people whose social and emotional development and functioning is affected adversely, or who risk being affected by mental health difficulties.

You’ll develop the knowledge and skills to contribute to interventions for individuals and groups with child and adolescent mental health difficulties and social emotional and behavioural difficulties; also to advise colleagues and parents on the formulation of appropriate strategies for working with children and young people with CAMHD/SEBD and to contribute to the development of appropriate policy and guidelines.
