Five Star Learner Feedback: [5StarSymbol] "I enjoyed being able to put a lot of thought into my answers, and to link them to real life examples and thoughts. This helped me to understand the ideas to a better degree. The units have given me a greater understanding of the extremes of good mental health and mental ill health. This will allow me to be aware of signals and triggers in my work place and I will be able to support my colleagues should I notice any issues arising. My assessor was very helpful, we had regular check ins to see how my progress was going and we were able to sort any issues easily. I am grateful
