MindEd

MindEd is cross-professional and can be used by teachers, health professionals, police and judiciary staff, social workers, youth service volunteers, and school counsellors, among others. 

MindEd is suitable for all adults working with or caring for infants, children, or teenagers; all the information provided is quality-assured by experts, useful, and easy to understand. We aim to give adults who care for, or work with, young people:

• the knowledge to support their wellbeing
• the understanding to identify a child at risk of a mental health condition
• the confidence to act on their concern and, if needed, signpost to services that can help

There are also specific resources to support CAMHS and CYP IAPT learners and those on counselling courses. All registered learners can access a learning path tailored to their needs.
