Dr Raphael Kelvin and Professor Mick Cooper provided an update on the MindEd e-Portal programme at the CYP IAPT National Conference on November 5th 2013. The MindEd e-Portal aims to provide early and improved access to mental health support for children and young people through online training and resources. It will feature a core curriculum, modules from the Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme, and content on counseling and healthy child development. The programme structure was presented, along with progress on developing the counseling MindEd curriculum and scoping reports. The portal is scheduled to launch in March 2014.
