Over time such cases are inclining.  According to the mental health charity Mind, one in four adults experience a mental health problem every year and one in six experience a mental health issue each week. These issues affect people from all walks of life - no one is immune to psychological distress. Although mental illness is relatively common, sufferers often feel too ashamed to seek help. In some cases, this can have devastating consequences - mental illness diminishes an individual's quality of life and can even result in suicide. Fortunately, simply being aware of the signs, causes and treatment can create a safe environment - whether at home or in the workplace - whereby people feel as though they can talk about their problems and access appropriate interventions.

BENEFITS OF TAKING THIS COURSE: * You will be in a position to support those experiencing mental illness or psychological distress, both at home and in the workplace. * If you are interested in a career supporting those with psychiatric difficulties, this course will provide you with a useful overview of the most common mental health topics. * If you work in an HR or management role, this course will provide you with the skills you need to support employees with mental health problems. * If you are interested in psychology, this course will give you an insight into the various forms mental illness can take and how it is treated. * This course will provide you with background information that will help you make sense of public policy issues relating to mental health.
