Did you know 1 in 4 people in the UK are likely to experience mental health
problems each year? Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet
whilst we know how to take care of our own physical health, many people do not
know how to support relatives, friends and even colleagues who are experiencing
poor mental health. By developing a greater understanding of common mental
health issues, as well as how best to support and guide someone to professional
help, you can help further reduce the stigma associated with mental health in
the UK. The QA Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace (RQF)
is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification that has been
specifically designed for those who would like to raise their awareness of
mental health, develop an understanding on how best to support, reassure and
signpost colleagues to professional support. What’s more, candidates will
develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to actively promote positive mental
health within their workplace, making it an ideal qualification for mental
health champions/first aiders, human resources, managers, supervisors and team
leaders.
