Leading Transformation And Change: Children And Young People's Mental Health And Wellbeing Services PG Cert

The programme aims to support you in the implementation of your transformation and change objectives. The programme firstly aims to be a resource for you in achieving locally determined goals. In this way, the intention is to ensure that the teaching, the small group work and the assignments are all designed to support real world challenges and planned change rather than being an additional academic burden to participants who already have to manage high levels of demand with their work settings.

The intention of the programme is to enable you to reflect on your own knowledge and expertise and to apply your previous experience in the implementation of the CYP IAPT programme.

The programme aims to facilitate learning between managers and leaders and across services, by enabling learning about each other's context and by facilitating joint problem solving around implementation problems.

The programme is based and taught at the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, a national charity delivering pioneering mental health care.
