About the Faculty of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

 Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Faculty

About us 

The Faculty exists to promote, through the work of its members, the mental wellbeing of young people and their families. By contributing to and using an established knowledge base to inform practice:

 

  • By promoting the training of medical students, doctors in training, and substantively employed psychiatrists.
  • By acting as a forum for the exchange of experience and research.
  • By promoting the developmental perspective, and the importance of family functioning in mental health within the wider College functions.
  • By influencing public policies in appropriate directions.
  • By promoting mental health awareness through working with the media and offering information directly to the public.
  • By organising regular national conferences and local meetings to promote professional development, clinical education and peer networking opportunities.

Projects- MindEd e-portal

The Children and Young People’s MindEd e-portal will provide accessible engaging online training in emotional and behavioural ‘first aid’ and essential therapeutic skills for those involved in the mental wellbeing and care of the 12 million children and young people in the UK, maximising the life chances and opportunities for all.

 

The Mind Ed Consortium, of which the Royal College of Psychiatrists is a member, is looking for energetic and enthusiastic individuals to write and edit e-learning content as part of both the Mind Ed Mental Health and Healthy School Child Projects.

An author training day for applicants will be held free of charge on Friday 17 May, 10.00 – 16.00 at the RCPCH offices in London. Some of the content from this day will be filmed and available online for those who cannot attend, although we strongly advise applicants to attend this face-to-face training session where possible.
