This new course will provide you with a good understanding of how Thrive can build the emotional health and wellbeing of all young people in your setting, specifically as a whole-setting approach. Adolescence is a time of huge opportunity for teenagers to develop their emotional resilience as they experience a burst in brain development, a changing body and the challenge of transition to adulthood. Thrive training will support you to help the young people you work with to manage stress and build their emotional resilience.
Leading to Thrive Emotional Health Practitioner status, the course also demonstrates how to use Thrive-Online, a web-based profiling, measuring and monitoring tool, for group screening and action-planning. Plus, you will explore some of the strategies and activities that can be used for right-time support with young people in group settings, without increasing your workload.
To be recognised as a Thrive Emotional Health Practitioner, you will need to be an authorised user of Thrive-Online, a profiling, measuring and monitoring tool, through a whole-setting subscription.
Building Emotional Health in Adolescence is ideal for any practitioner working alongside secondary school aged children (11 to 18 year olds) who is interested in enhancing their classroom, pastoral or SEND emotional health practice: teachers, teaching assistants, student support and pastoral staff, heads of year and any other staff that interact with the students on a daily basis.
No previous qualifications are required to undertake this course, other than being comfortable with day-to-day use of a laptop or tablet, having a role working with young people and wanting to make a difference.
