YP 009-03 Support young people with mental health problems

[LisaClaire]

Hello everyone!

Am just starting this unit, and I'm stuck already!! I'm not entirely clear on what the first criteria is asking for -
"Explain the social, emotional and psychological issues that may affect the well-being of young people with mental health problems."

I can find loads of info online about different types of mental health problems and what triggers them, but nothing about the issues that affect young people that already have them! Or is it asking me in fact to talk about the issues that cause mental health problems in the first place? This would seem to make more sense, as it's the very first part of the unit - but the wording doesn't imply this - confused!!

I have emailed my assessor for some guidance but not heard back yet and I really wanted to crack on, so if anyone has advice, please shout!

Thank you very much!
