Course Description

The Level 3 Mental Health in the Workplace course is designed to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills to effectively supervise and support others in the workplace who may be experiencing mental health issues or distress. This course aims to equip participants with a deeper understanding of mental health, enabling them to provide guidance, reassurance, and signposting to appropriate professional help.

Understanding Mental Health: Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of mental health, including common mental health conditions, their causes, and the impact they can have on individuals and workplaces. They will learn to recognise signs and symptoms of mental health issues and develop an understanding of the stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental health.

Promoting a Positive Mental Health Culture: Participants will explore strategies to promote a positive mental health culture in the workplace. This includes raising awareness, reducing stigma, and fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that prioritises mental well-being.

Providing Mental Health Support: Participants will learn how to provide immediate and practical support to individuals experiencing mental health issues or emotional distress. They will be trained in active listening skills, effective communication techniques, and providing non-judgmental and empathetic support.

Signposting and Referral: Participants will develop the skills to signpost individuals to appropriate professional help and resources. They will learn about available support services, both within and outside the workplace, and how to facilitate access to these services.

Crisis Management: Participants will be prepared to respond to mental health crises and emergencies. They will learn how to assess risk, manage situations involving self-harm or suicidal ideation, and understand the importance of maintaining personal and professional boundaries.

Supporting Workplace Mental Health Policies: Participants will understand the importance of workplace mental health policies and how to support their implementation. They will explore the role of supervisors in promoting mental health, identifying potential triggers or stressors in the workplace, and implementing strategies to support employee well-being.

Successful completion of the Level 3 Mental Health in the Workplace course indicates that participants have developed the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively supervise and support individuals experiencing mental health issues in the workplace. They will be equipped to provide guidance, signposting, and initial assistance, contributing to a mentally healthy and supportive work environment.

It's important to note that this course does not qualify participants as mental health professionals or therapists.

It is focused on providing basic mental health support and guidance in the workplace context. If participants wish to pursue more in-depth training or a career in mental health, they may consider further studies or qualifications in mental health counseling, psychology, or related fields.
