Emotional Abuse

In the UK, emotional abuse is included under the crime of child abuse. It can impact a young person’s development and lead to mental health and relationship problems in later life. Emotional abuse is typically present in physical and sexual abuse, too. So, identifying the signs can help you to protect young people from these other types of abuse, and this course can help with that and more.
