Educational Mental Health Practitioner PG Dip

This is a full-time employment training programme. On successful completion of this year-long programme, trainees will qualify as Educational Mental Health Practitioner (EMHP). This is a role where EMHPs will play a key role in promoting emotional wellbeing in educational settings. They will work as part of Mental Health Support Teams as outlined in Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision: a Green Paper.

The EMHP programme trains wellbeing practitioners to offer low intensity evidence-based interventions for mild to moderate mental health difficulties in educational settings. This includes group interventions and psychoeducation workshops.
