Awareness of Mental Health Problems
Mental health presents one of the greatest challenges to our society. With an estimated 450 million people worldwide suffering from a mental health problem, around a quarter of British adults will experience some form of mental health problem within the course of a year.
This qualification will help learners to develop understanding and appreciation of mental health conditions and learn about signs, triggers and symptoms of mental health. You will learn how mental health affects an individual’s ability to cope, function, and examine guidance to potentially manage and support them with their illness.
“I was a little daunted at first as there are 12 units but the course is structured really well into bite sized learning and the subject matter is really interesting. The online assessor was really helpful and supportive and I’m going to do another course soon.” Jane
