The course equips learners with an introductory level of knowledge and understanding in relation to mental health issues. Learners will look at what mental health means the effects mental health can have on individuals and on society, the current responses to mental health and the relationship between cultural diversity and mental health issues
This course is ideal for learners who wish to gain a basic knowledge of mental health and the effects it can have on both individuals and society. Anyone who currently works in health and social care settings would benefit from this course, as well as those who would like to raise their awareness of mental health for personal reasons.
