Mental Health Awareness
Mental Health Awareness Training Course Overview:
Mental Health Awareness Training
Mental Health Awareness Training provides participants with an understanding of what mental health is and how they can look after their own mental health and support others.
The course covers the signs that may indicate someone is struggling with their mental health, the risk factors for mental ill-health and how these risks can be counterbalanced through practical strategies.
People struggling with mental health challenges often do not seek support because of the stigma. The course addresses the stigma by emphasising that most people face mental health issues at some point in their lives, whether they are impacted personally or through someone close to them.
