Whilst Autism is not a mental health condition, very high numbers of autistic people experience poor mental health across the lifespan with up to 76% reaching out for mental health services. Only 14% of autistic adults and 11% of families feel that there are enough mental health services in their area to meet their needs.
Autistic people have said mental health training which increases understanding of autism and improves responses are the things that can make the biggest difference, alongside making adjustments to the way in which services are provided.

The BPS Certificate and Diploma courses and the short modules/courses are all pre-recorded and made available to you via a learning management platform. This means whilst we have a set number of start dates during the year you can start and finish the course at your own pace and time.
For those who are signed up to the BPS Approved Certificate and Diploma courses you will also have access to bi-weekly one hour live reflective practice sessions (via zoom during term time). This offers you a blended learning experience and opportunity to reflect on how you are implementing your learning from the course.
This is a neuro-informed and affirmative training, developed in conjunction with autistic and neurodivergent practitioners and people. This includes autistic and neurodivergent people who have accessed mental health support, those who have led on research, written books, articles, produced podcasts, or who are advocating for improvements in mental health services.
The training draws on the latest research and evidence base when thinking about autism and mental health. We have collaborated with those universities engaged in neurodevelopmental research, teaching and practice. We advocate for the development and use of participatory research which directly involves autistic and neurodivergent people.
