Three children in every class in the U.K. have a mental health problem. Identifying and getting the right help is imperative due to the lifelong implications of little or poor management. As osteopaths we have the privilege of spending longer with our patients allowing us to identify potential problems. Many of us do not feel equipped in this important area of patient care which will be addressed by this course. As well as learning how to identify potential mental health problems in children the course also covers the legal responsibilities we have as practitioners including consent.
