Mental Health in the Workplace Awareness Level 1

Office Woman Stressed at Work

Lets start with an

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 with how to start the process of care and support.

We can all feel stressed at times feeling as though everything is becoming too much, when things get on top of us, or when we feel as though we are unable to cope. It affects us in separate ways at different times and is often the result of a combination of factors in our personal and working lives.

The target is for all organisations to match the performance of the top 20% of employers that are successfully minimising work-related stress. Therefore, companies need to assess the risk and potential causes of stress within the organisation – for example by looking at sickness absence records or attitude surveys.

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