Introduction

This course covers mental health conditions at a basic awareness level designed for the workplace. This will provide learners with the knowledge to recognise a range of mental health conditions in the workplace and will assist employees, managers, and supervisors on how to start the process of care, support and signposting.

Mental illness is a term used to describe mental health conditions that impact mood, thinking, and behavior. These disorders may interfere with a person’s ability to relate to others and function daily. The Health & Safety At Work act 1974 states that companies have a duty to care for all employees’ Health, Safety & Welfare at work. The Welfare aspect of the act must consider employees’ mental health in the workplace.

Training can either take place on site at a customer’s premises or in one of our accredited training centres.
