Introduction
According to the NHS, one in four adults is at risk of mental illness. Despite these statistics, mental health is still seen as a taboo subject. This way of thinking needs to change, as a society we need to hold our mental wellbeing to the same standard as our physical wellbeing. Studying this Level 2 Award in Mental Health Awareness will increase your ability to handle sensitive conversations and provide the appropriate support to those around you.
Even if you have been unfortunate enough to experience mental health issues yourself, there is no way to know how it may be affecting others. There are important conversations we should be having with each other, but we need to know how to approach them. Through the skills learnt in this course, you will be well equipped to face these conversations with confidence. Having the ability to participate in open discussion regarding mental health is a valuable skill. Through each module of this course you will increase your comprehension on what mental health struggles mean, what they can look like and how to improve mental wellbeing.
