How Environment Affects Children's Mental Health course for GPs
This session looks at the social and environmental factors associated with children and young people’s mental health. It also explores the ways in which they may have an impact, so that potential difficulties and risks can be identified.

By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe social and environmental factors that affect children and young people’s mental health
- Describe some of the ways in which social and environmental factors may impact on children’s emotional and behavioural development
