Aims and Objectives
Each year approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition and at least 1 in 6 people who are in work, experience common mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
Mental health conditions are often hidden due to stigma and fear of discrimination and research found that a culture of fear and silence around mental health is costly to society.
This session provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a range of mental health conditions, start a supportive conversation, and when and how to signpost someone to professional help. Learners will learn how to recognise and manage stress and understand the impact of substance abuse.
Learners will learn about the first aid action plan for mental health, be able to put the plan in place, and understand how to implement a positive mental health culture in the workplace.
Learners will not diagnose or treat mental health conditions as this can only be carried out by healthcare professionals but will be able to identify when a person may have a suspected mental health condition, offer reassurance and support, and know where they can go to get help.
On successful completion of the course, participants can gain this accredited award at scqf level 5. Participants must be aged 14 years or over.
Tea/coffee/juice & biscuits are provided free of charge. Participants can bring a packed lunch or get something nearby. Please advise the trainer of any specific dietary requirements.
