In this session, the core underlying emotional pain fuelling depression (differentiated from low mood) will be explored. Central to this, is the fact that depression is a symptom not a cause, supported by a wealth of evidence-based research on the neuroscience and psychology of depression.
Dr Sunderland will discuss how healing involves addressing underlying emotional pain in the safe psychological holding of therapeutic relationship. The importance of “name it to tame it” and “feel it to heal it” will be illustrated through case material showing how deeply depressed children and teenagers can start to process painful life experience then move on to enjoy quality of life.
You will learn how to connect with children and young people who feel hopeless about their lives, in ways that enable them to feel heard, seen, understood and appreciated. Most importantly, Dr Sunderland will address how organisations and schools can do so much to prevent children and young people from becoming depressed in the first place.

About the ProgrammeA flexible, rolling programme of online lecture presentations - vital CPD in Child & Adolescent Mental Health, co-run by the Centre for Child Mental Health and the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education (Academic Partner of the University of East London)
Mental health symptoms can cause abject misery, adversely impact on functioning, relating, learning, doing, thinking. Symptoms are sometimes so awful that people take their own lives.
So, these mental health presentations provide key knowledge to alleviate suffering. The presentations will bring you fascinating psychology and neuroscience about the causes of mental health problems coupled with evidence-based roads to recovery. This vital knowledge is all too rarely in the public awareness. Instead, many sufferers and helping professionals alike, spend hours focusing on symptom control rather than addressing the core emotional pain that’s causing the symptoms in the first place.
As a result, far too many children and teenagers don’t get the help they need to have quality of life and to ensure that they have their emotions rather than their emotions having them.
Any child professional and/or parent wanting to help children and teenagers overcome mental health problems.
