Barnsley Recovery College

September 15, 2021

Delivered by The Youth Mental Health Foundation (a non-profit CIC registered in England), The Horizon Plan is an online course that focuses on guiding the parents of young people who self-harm to support their child’s healing.

The methodology for The Horizon Plan was first developed by Claire Sutton, drawing on her experience guiding her daughter from self-harm to health and happiness and has now been developed in to an online course to support parents all over the world.

The Youth Mental Health Foundation have a mission to develop mental health resilience in young people and to support the parents of young people struggling with mental health to play a central role in their child’s recovery. Their vision is for a world where young people have mental health resilience, and every parent has the knowledge, skills and confidence to support a child in crisis.
