Summary
With a balance of academic and work-based learning, this PGDip Senior Wellbeing Practitioner: Children and Young People course has been designed to provide opportunities for you to complete four academic modules, whilst maintaining a clinical role in practice.
This approach to study will allow you to identify key issues in practice by applying the theoretical skills learned from the course into practice.
You will be equipped with therapeutic knowledge and practice-based skills in both clinical and case management supervision. This will focus on developing your communication skills, leadership management and knowledge of interventions in learning disability and autistic spectrum disorder practice.
This course has been developed as a direct response to the Government’s mandate which seeks to improve access and quality of mental health support for children and young people. As a Senior Wellbeing Practitioner, you will add to this core team, as well as providing development opportunities for graduates of the PGDip Education Mental Health Practitioner for Children and Young People programme.
Throughout the course, you will be exposed to research informed, evidence based teaching, and a wealth of support from writing to wellbeing.
