Our Courses:
Our mental health courses are designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to effectively support their own well-being and the mental health of others. Our courses offer practical tools, insightful discussions, and a comprehensive understanding of mental health issues. Our existing courses include:
Mental Health Awareness– Covering common mental health issues including national statistics, stigma, signs and symptoms, and where you can go for more information and help.
Mental Health First Aid– Covering an awareness of common mental health issues such as anxiety and depression as well as more complex mental health issues such as Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. You will gain insight into a practical framework for how to respond to these mental health issues, to keep the affected individual safe in the short-term before connecting them with more long term support.
Youth Mental Health First Aid– Following a similar format to the above with a particular emphasis on how these mental health issues may be expressed in adolescents.
Suicide First Aid®- Covering an awareness of suicide and how to respond to someone with thoughts of suicide, including how to keep them safe short-term before they are connected with professional support.
