Awareness of Young Peoples Mental Health training - Postponed due to Covid Secure guidance. Online training being developed.

We know that lockdown and uncertainty around Coronavirus has had a significant impact on the mental health of young people.

​Young people in Ripon are reporting that their top 2 concerns are their uncertain future and mental health worries.
  
These courses will explore the most common mental health concerns faced by young people today, and provide resources and information on how to support individuals experiencing poor mental health. The sessions are ideal for parents or those who work with young people, however all community members are welcome.
