This session describes four evidence-based talking therapies used for treating mental health problems in young people in a range of settings. It also briefly covers current guidance on the management of specific conditions and makes reference to pharmacological interventions when appropriate.

 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Compare and contrast four different types of talking therapies that can be used for treating mental health disorders in young people
  • List commonly used psychotropic medication that might be used in treating certain types of mental health disorder in young people, and the problems that may be associated with them
  • Summarise practical approaches when working on common mental health disorders in young people and access links to recommended first-line management

 

This session describes some of the talking therapies that can be useful in young people, particularly for those for whom generic approaches and ‘watchful waiting’ have proved ineffective. All of these therapeutic approaches require appropriate training and delivery by a trained health care professional.
