Mental health concerns how we think, feel and behave and mental health problems can affect anyone.

This figure indicates that most people will have firsthand experience of mental distress, whether it be themselves or someone they know. This course will provide learners with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the various forms of mental distress, including stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, dementia and schizophrenia among others.

Learners will be able to further their own continuous professional development, which may improve their career prospects, or allow them to progress on to further qualifications such as courses in health and social care or related subjects.
