What the college says

We all know what it’s like to feel stressed - being under pressure is a normal part of life. But becoming overwhelmed by stress can lead to mental health problems or make existing problems worse. Due to an increase in negative media coverage in recent years, the need for mental health awareness and support is now greater than ever. This qualification is designed to provide learners with a thorough understanding of mental health and the importance of mental wellbeing. This course is split into five manageable units which will not only provide a more comprehensive understanding of mental health, but they will also give learners the knowledge required to work in a variety of roles within both the mental health and social care sector. The units will cover the context of mental health and wellbeing and the promotion of it, associated issues and consequences with mental health problems, understanding mental ill health and working in mental health.
