Overview

This one-day course provides learners with comprehensive knowledge and skills on a range of the most common mental health conditions. Those undertaking this course will be considered First Aiders for Mental Health and be a point of contact within the workplace to help and support those with a suspected mental health condition.

This course also covers the effects of drugs and alcohol and provides learners with the skills and knowledge to assist employers in implementing a positive mental health culture to support employees within the workplace.
