Children’s and young people’s mental health and wellbeing

The programme of work around children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing comprises a programme of education, training and implementation support for the wider children and families workforce in Scotland.

It focuses on evidence-based and evidence-informed prevention, early intervention and treatment approaches that have been designed to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people, build strong parent-child relationships, and support the promotion of resilience among children, young people and families.

This work spans the perinatal period, through infancy, childhood, adolescence and young adulthood.
