COURSE DESCRIPTION
Mental health is an important part of overall wellbeing, and mental health issues can affect people from all backgrounds. However, mental health is not the same as mental illness.
This Mental Health Awareness Course provides an introduction to mental health and mental illness, helping learners understand the difference between the two and develop greater awareness of some of the most common mental health conditions.
The course explores symptoms associated with a range of mental illnesses and provides practical guidance on how to work effectively and appropriately with people affected by these conditions.
Understanding Mental Health and Mental Illness
Mental health can vary throughout a person’s life, and experiencing a mental health issue is not limited to any particular social background, gender or level of intelligence.
The course begins by exploring what mental illness is, including prevalence rates, and helps learners develop a better understanding of the relationship between mental health and mental illness.
Recognising Common Mental Health Conditions
An important part of mental health awareness is understanding potential symptoms and knowing what to look out for.
The course introduces symptoms associated with several common mental health conditions, including:
- Bipolar disorder
- Depression
- Psychotic disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Anxiety
- Personality disorders
- Self-harm
This knowledge can help learners develop greater awareness when working with or supporting someone who may be affected by a mental health condition.
Supporting People with Mental Health Conditions
The course also provides practical advice on how to work effectively with people affected by mental health conditions.
The aim is to help learners develop greater confidence and understanding when interacting with individuals experiencing mental health difficulties, while recognising the importance of appropriate support.
