Background
MindEd for Families builds on the success of the MindEd e-learning portal, developed in partnership with e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH), part of Health Education England (HEE). MindEd is funded through the Department of Health and HEE. MindEd for Families has been funded by the Department for Education and NHS England.
MindEd for Families has been developed in two phases. The first phase, funded by DfE, is intended to support parents and those caring for children and young people in their family when they are concerned about a young person’s mental health or well-being. The second phase, funded by NHSE, provides support for older people and their families when they are concerned about mental health and well-being, either their own or other family members.
