Mental Health Awareness Course

---

Having an understanding of mental health is essential to equip people with tools, understanding and confidence to deal with all kinds of mental ill-health and well being issues. Given the current climate in the UK surrounding mental health, the likelihood of encountering issues both personally, and professionally is almost guaranteed.

The course provides participants with knowledge, awareness, and resources which they can utilise to support individuals and manage situations. Training will also reduce the stress one can experience through the uncertainty and anxiety associated with feeling like you don’t know how to support or approach someone suffering emotional distress. 

During this Mental Health Awareness course, you will have the opportunity to:

• Develop a greater understanding and awareness of good mental health
• To recognise indicators of stress and mental ill-health in both oneself and others
• To consider the wider influences that can contribute to mental ill-health
• To learn basic tips for support
• How to look after ourselves at home and in the workplace

This course is aimed at anyone who wants to increase their understanding of what mental health is and how to support yourself and others to improve overall wellbeing.  This course is not as in depth as the Mental Health First Aid courses but it is a perfect starting point if you want to improve your knowledge and skills around mental health, without committing to becoming a certified Mental Health First Aider.  However, many people do go on to complete the Mental Health First Aid course following this course. 

It is not compulsory to complete this course before completing a Mental Health First Aid course. 

The Mental Health Awareness course is a half day online interactive course.

Our online Mental Health Awareness course is currently on a special introductory price of £50 per person.  

Yes you will receive a certificate via email after completing the course.
