Who is the course aimed at ?

The course is not only aimed at individuals supporting people with their mental health and wellbeing, but also those whose roles might not traditionally have any mental health training but have the opportunity to discuss mental health and wellbeing. This could include settings such as libraries, gyms, charity support services, hairdressers, and other public facing settings. The course could also be used in the induction of new staff and volunteers across a variety of workplaces.
