One in 10 children and young people will experience behavioural, emotional and mental health problems at some point in their lives. However, identifying mental health problems and responding appropriately can prove challenging for nurses working with children and young people.

It will help them in identifying the skills and knowledge they need to recognise and, if necessary, refer children who have problems affecting their mental health.
