Speech, language & communication needs often go unidentified in #CYP with social, emotional & mental health needs

We want to change that

Today @RCSLTLearn will be launching a new free e-learning tool for professionals

Stay tuned for more details!

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
Are you aware that many children with mental health needs also have communication difficulties?

To mark the start of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek @RCSLT has launched Mind Your Words - free e-learning for professionals working with children & young people https://twitter.com/RCSLTLearn/status/1391655746077544455?s=20
Mind Your Words aims to improve understanding of the many #CYP who have both #mentalhealth needs (or social, emotional and mental health needs #SEMH) and speech, language and communication needs #SLCN - young people like Ash

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
Studies show that 8 out of 10 children with #mentalhealth needs have unidentified language difficulties

Mind Your Words outlines how professionals can work together to remove communication barriers and help these young people achieve their potential http://bit.ly/2RzWqB0 
Children with #mentalhealth needs are 5 times more likely to have #SLCN than their peers

Everyone who works with these young people needs to understand this and know how they can support them
