This 4-hour qualification provides learners with the knowledge to recognise a range of mental health conditions, how to start a supportive conversation and when and how to signpost a person to seek appropriate professional help. Learners will know how to recognise and manage stress.

This interactive two-day course will give candidates the skills to recognise when someone may need help and outline the appropriate next steps to take. Attendance will not train candidates to be mental health workers however, they will be equipped with the skills to respond to those in mental health crisis and provide assistance before professional help or treatment can be obtained.
