About the course

Around 450 million people globally experience mental health problems, and recent reports show over 12 million working days were lost in just one year due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety.

This online qualification aims to raise awareness of mental health issues in the workplace and provides valuable knowledge on how to support colleagues dealing with mental health challenges. By increasing understanding of mental health at all levels, employers can foster a supportive, caring environment for their staff.

While the course content is not sector-specific, it is highly relevant to a variety of professional and personal contexts. It is particularly useful for individuals in roles such as teachers, mental health workers, crisis helpline volunteers, support workers, safeguarding professionals, parents or anyone working with individuals at risk of mental health problems.

  • Unit 3: Creating a Mentally Healthy Environment

Please note, this is a fully online course and you will be given access to an online portfolio upon successful completion of the initial assessment process.
