Course content

This course is part of the broader CYP-IAPT initiative funded by Health Education England. The programme will enable a wide range of children and young people’s mental health and emotional well-being leaders and managers to develop a high level of leadership and transformational change expertise. This will support them in transforming and sustaining effective, evidence-based services that are based on an understanding of needs from a service user, operational and organisational perspective.

The course is suitable for leaders from across organisations that work with children and young people, including NHS, Social Care, education, and the voluntary and independent sector. It is relevant to all professionals who are in a position to influence change, including service and team leads, commissioners, clinical leads, participation leads, and professionals wishing to build their capability as leaders in this field.
