Course Details

The Schizophrenia Awareness in Education can play a pivotal role as part of an overall mental health and wellbeing CPD focus. Providing a comprehensive look at this challenging chronic brain disorder and how you might encounter it as an educator, it equips you with the knowledge to best support young people dealing with schizophrenia. It is ideal for teachers and teaching assistants at all levels of education, pastoral support and youth workers, childcare professionals, SENCOs, and more.

Participants will be equipped with the knowledge they require to determine, understand, and support learners suffering from schizophrenia. The CPD training covers the causes, the signs, and the clinical criteria of the condition so that educators can identify sufferers in a classroom setting. This includes discussing differential diagnoses, and the training also discusses the challenges that arise in diagnosing schizophrenia in children and young people.

Schizophrenia has possible genetic and environmental causes, and the course describes these to provide more context and understanding. Importantly, it discusses the potential challenges faced by schizophrenic learners, allowing teachers and education professionals to better support them and seek early intervention on their behalf.

An understanding of schizophrenia is an asset to anyone working in education and a fantastic choice for continuing professional development. Come along and learn how you can support all learners in a way that works for their unique needs.
