Mental Health Awareness
This course explains mental health as something we all have, introduces common conditions such as anxiety, depression and work-related stress, and shows you how to spot the signs in yourself and others. You will practise starting a supportive conversation, learn what help your workplace can offer and what employers must do under UK law. It is awareness training and is not a substitute for professional help.
