This training course raises awareness of ill-mental health, particularly stress, depression and anxiety.

It provides tools and guidance for daily well-being-management and aims to remove the stigma surrounding mental health.

Mental Health is a serious subject. Nearly two-thirds of people say that they have experienced a mental health problem and evidence suggests that poor mental health is responsible for almost 13% of all sickness absence days in the UK.  One of the biggest challenges with poor mental health is removing the stigma that surrounds it. Many don’t hesitate to seek help for a physical pain or problem, yet so many of us ignore emotional and mental health issues – or we feel too embarrassed, confused or scared to talk about them. This Mental Health Awareness Training discusses mental health the way you would a headache or the flu, and it encourages you to take care of yourself as you would a loved one.

This course raises awareness, it explains how to approach mental health and remove stigma; and it also provides simple tools, tips and ideas for day-to-day wellbeing-management (for yourself and others).

Happy staff and volunteers equal healthier, more productive and more successful organisation. Put simply, good mental health is a win-win for everyone.
