Course overview

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. While many ele­ments of men­tal health are still not under­stood, hav­ing a good knowl­edge of the infor­ma­tion that is avail­able is essen­tial in any sector.

This qual­i­fi­ca­tion is designed for any­one look­ing to devel­op their under­stand­ing of men­tal health and the prob­lems that can cause men­tal ill-health. This qual­i­fi­ca­tion aims to raise aware­ness of men­tal health and a range of men­tal health prob­lems. The objec­tive of this qual­i­fi­ca­tion is to devel­op the your under­stand­ing of a range of men­tal health prob­lems, which could be used to sup­port your role in the work­place or where you may work or inter­act with indi­vid­u­als with men­tal health problems.
