Overview
Off the shelf (OTS)
This course will provide employees with the knowledge and confidence to understand the spectrum of mental health and mental ill health and to be able to spot common mental health conditions in themselves and others. It will highlight the factors that can affect mental health and will explain that the mental health continuum is extremely fluid and will change with life events.
The aim is to train the learners in gaining understanding of how they can practically help themselves or another person who may be struggling with a mental health condition and have greater clarity as to the approaches that can support themselves or their colleagues into recovery.
