The MA CAMH (Child and Adolescent Mental Health) programme is a unique opportunity for professionals working with children and young people to enhance their knowledge and skills in supporting mental health. This non-clinical course offers a broad context for generalist and specialist practitioners, managers, and researchers. It is the only programme of its kind in Wales and one of the few available in England. With a focus on evidence-based practice, the programme equips students with critical thinking abilities and the capacity to make a positive impact in their workplaces. Flexible module options, including placements and internships, allow students to tailor their learning experience. A good first degree or relevant experience is preferred, and enhanced DBS checks are required for certain modules.
