Course overview
The Young Person Mentor Qualification is a level 3 course specifically created for staff working in secondary schools and further education. It focuses on practical skills for delivering interventions to address behavioural issues, SEND provision and mental health challenges faced by students.
This includes applicable knowledge for assessing, planning, and delivering interventions, using dynamic approaches and toolkits that can be adapted to a range of scenarios, whether for individuals or groups. Staff are trained to recognise the underlying causes of students’ behaviour, be they social, emotional, or mental health difficulties, so that they can most effectively address issues.
“I now feel that I will be able to combine my student facing experience with an awareness of mental health difficulties in young people as a result of this programme.”
