L2 CUMHEY Qualification Overview
The Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health in the Early Years is a qualification that is regulated by Ofqual and whose aim is to equip the learner with knowledge and understanding of mental health and wellbeing among young children aged between 0 and 5 years. The course gives students an opportunity to discuss the most important issues related to the mental health of children such as emotional development, attachment, and the consequences of adverse childhood events (ACEs) on early development.
 The qualification enables the learners to gain the awareness of how mental health affects the behaviour of children, their relationships, and their future life outcomes. Additionally, other key areas that this Level 2 course dwells on include holistic wellbeing, early intervention strategies, resilience building and the role of the Early Years Practitioner in promoting mental health of children. Learners are thus ready to contribute positively to supportive and nurturing environments that enhance positive mental health and wellbeing in early years settings.
