About the course

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.

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

It’s important that employers are transparent and open about mental health issues, and this qualification builds an understanding of mental health problems and the support available to colleagues. Increasing the under-standing of mental health of staff at all levels builds a culture of care and support.

The knowledge individuals will gain is not sector-specific but can be applied to a broad range of personal and professional situations. Individuals who may find this course useful to their professional life include: teachers, mental health workers, crisis helpline volunteers, support workers, individuals in a safeguarding role, parents or guardians, and others working with individuals who may be at increased risk of mental health problems.

What you will learn

Unit 1 - Exploring mental health

Unit 2 - Understand how to support individuals with mental ill health

Unit 3 - Understand a mentally healthy environment
