Mental health first aid has come to the fore in recent years as society comes to terms with the adverse effects of poor mental health. This course will give you the knowledge needed to form an awareness of mental health crises and how they can be mitigated. You will also learn what is needed to create a culture of understanding in your workplace around mental health and what can be done to promote positive mental wellbeing in your local community. We would recommend this course to anyone who believes in mental health awareness, but also to anyone who may need to support colleagues or teachers and youth workers who may need to be able to spot the warning signs of poor mental health.
Study for the course takes place in an online virtual learning environment (VLE) where you can study at any time and at your own pace. We ask that learners complete their courses within the given timeframe and that as a broad average most courses can take approximately 6-8 hours per week to complete. However, timeframes are flexible on a person-by-person basis should any learners require reasonable adjustments to their study plans.
Topics covered:
– Exploring Mental Health
– Understanding how to support individuals with mental ill health
