This course has been designed to develop your understanding and appreciation of mental health conditions, helping you understand how mental health affects an individual’s ability to cope and function, and examine guidance to potentially manage and support them.

Mental health presents one of the greatest challenges to our society. With an estimated 450 million people worldwide suffering from a mental health problem, around a quarter of British adults will experience some form of mental health problem within the course of a year. While many elements of mental health are still not understood, having a good knowledge of the information that is available is essential in the care sector.
