This online mental health awareness course will introduce you to important concepts of mental health. You will learn about how poor mental health impacts people’s lives, what you and employers can do to support colleagues with mental health problems, and several specific mental health conditions.

0.8 million workers suffered work-related stress, depression, or anxiety in 2020-21. As a manager or business owner, being aware and knowledgeable about mental health and related conditions will help you support your staff appropriately if a colleague is struggling to work.

The approximate duration of this training course is 2 hours. However, you can take as long as you want to view the training.

The importance of having Mental Health Awareness

There is strong evidence that workplaces with high levels of mental well-being are more productive. Positive mental health at work helps us cope with changing roles, complex challenges, and stressful situations.

Early intervention is essential when it comes to spotting the signs of mental health conditions. Those around us in the workplace are the most likely to spot those signs. However, people tend to distance themselves when a colleague, friend, or family member is diagnosed with a mental health condition. They want to help but do not know how to. People who have had appropriate mental health awareness training are far more likely to offer help.

Our online mental health awareness course provides the opportunity to identify, understand and support someone suffering.
