Course Description
CChildren and Young People’s mental health workers play a crucial role in supporting the emotional and psychological well-being of the children and young people in their care. Practitioners often work with children and young people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges. While deeply rewarding, this work can also be emotionally demanding, leading to stress, overwhelm, vicarious trauma, and burnout. In the process of caring for others, professionals can easily overlook their own well-being. Maintaining good self-care and well-being is an essential part of professional practice and is highlighted in the HCPC Standards of Proficiency for Arts Therapists (HCPC, 2023): 3.
