THE MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS COURSE
The Mental Health Awareness Course aims to increase learners’ understanding of common mental health conditions. The course focuses on the steps which should be taken to help yourself and others if you think there is a problem, including how to initiate conversations about mental health, and where to go for additional support. This entirely online course is also suitable as part of a school, college or other educational programme.
COURSE DURATION.
The estimated duration of the Mental Health Awareness Course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.
COURSE ACCESS.
Learners receive 90 days of access to the Mental Health Awareness Course materials from the date of registration, therefore the course can be completed straightaway or at one’s leisure. Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish, providing a more economical training option for small and large businesses.
Candidates who are registered by their manager using the GROUP option will receive 90 days of course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.
Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.
WHO REQUIRES THIS COURSE?
The Mental Health Awareness Course is suitable for all who have an interest in learning more about the intricacies of Mental Health and Mental Ill Health. It will provide pertinent information which will enable learners to understand the actions that should be taken if they experience mental health issues or have an association with others who may experience problems.
This course can also be used as a valuable part of a school, or other educational programme. Furthermore, the opportunity for learners to gain an instant achievement certificate is highly motivating.
COURSE CONTENT.
The Mental Health Awareness Course consists of 3 core units and is concluded by a final exam:
UNIT 1 – MENTAL HEALTH AND MENTAL ILL HEALTH.
UNIT 2 – SELF-MANAGING – MENTAL HEALTH.
UNIT 3 – PROVIDING SUPPORT.
Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed before progress. At each stage, learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE‘ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.
Using clearly defined Units and Topics provides candidates with a structured framework that allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course. Each course section is marked with a green check following completion, allowing learners to leave and easily recommence training.
