Course Aims

With 1 in 5 of us suffering in silence, it is important that we are equipped with knowledge and strategies to help you actively manage your mental health.

Mental health is one of the most pressing issues of our time; on this course we aim to increase your understanding of common mental health conditions and be aware of your own mental health, including how or when it might be triggered, and what you can do about it.

This Mental Health Awareness Course is ideal for anyone who wants to develop their knowledge and understanding of mental health principles and learn useful skills that will benefit them within the workplace and everyday life.

This course provides information to raise awareness of the issues surrounding poor mental health and the misconceptions and health problems and the rights those with mental health issues have.
