About this bitesize training course
Most of us take our mental health for granted, assuming mental ill health is something that happens to others.
However, no one is immune. 1 in 4 of us will be diagnosed with a mental illness and considerably more of us will experience undiagnosed symptoms.
We are happy to discuss physical illness, but shy away from any discussion of mental illness. This course is designed to debunk the myths and explore the facts about mental health.
Participants in our Mental health awareness training course will learn to:
Recognise the importance of positive mental health for the individual and the wider community
Understand personal and work causes and triggers of mental ill health
Develop an understanding of their own mental health
Spot the early warning signs of imbalance
Understand and recognise the signs and symptoms of some common mental health illnesses
Develop the confidence to assist someone with mental ill health
Explore how best to support their personal mental wellbeing
Discuss how to promote mental health at work
Pairing suggestion: for managers, our Managing for Mental Health training course provides a deeper dive into these topics, with additional content on supporting direct reports experiencing transient mental health symptoms (such as stress or low mood) or clinical mental health challenges.
