Studies indicate that one in four individuals will face a mental health issue at some point during their lifetime, while one in six will encounter mental health challenges at work. Workplace stress is frequently identified as the leading cause of mental health problems. Many people hide their struggles due to concerns about discrimination, and a workplace culture rooted in fear and silence can exacerbate the situation, leading to significant costs for employers. Early intervention can have a profound impact, and this course equips learners with the knowledge to identify various mental health issues, recognise the symptoms, and understand the most effective steps to support individuals on their path to recovery.

About the Course

The Awareness of First Aid for Mental Health: Level 2 course is a fully online training programme designed to increase awareness of mental health issues. It aims to help learners identify symptoms in themselves and others and outlines the necessary steps to support those in need while improving the overall working environment. This Level 2 course is specifically aimed at supervisors or team leaders within an organisation who have responsibility for the health and wellbeing of their colleagues. The course teaches how to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental ill health, provide basic first aid support, and determine when to escalate care or seek professional help. It also addresses the identification of drug or alcohol misuse, and offers guidance on creating a supportive, inclusive workplace that fosters openness, rather than fear and stress.
