This course is suitable for non specialist professionals.

This course will help you know more about mental health and ill health. There will be discussion about the issues that people find it hard to talk about such as suicidal feelings and self-harm. The trainers will look at common mental health problems and the key features, what to look out for and how to recognise them. Importantly, you will be equipped with ways of asking about and speaking to patients about mental health that mean that will reduce those common anxieties such as ‘opening a can of worms’ or ‘making things worse’.

The trainers will talk about what help is available and how to understand what the services that you refer to do, what kind of help do patients receive in secondary and tertiary care and what are the different therapies that people talk about.

In a nutshell, we all come across and have a responsibility for mental health as well as physical health, if you want to increase your confidence and knowledge about mental health then this is the course for you.

Led by a Clinical Psychologist; an interactive, fun, and informative learning experience with an opportunity to talk about all things mental health.
