Mental Health Awareness Certification
Description:
An affectation in mental health causes a person suffer, incapable of doing daily activities both individually and socially. Over time such cases are inclining.
According to the mental health charity Mind, one in four adults experience a mental health problem every year and one in six experience a mental health issue each week. These issues affect people from all walks of life - no one is immune to psychological distress. Although mental illness is relatively common, sufferers often feel too ashamed to seek help. In some cases, this can have devastating consequences - mental illness diminishes an individual's quality of life and can even result in suicide. Fortunately, simply being aware of the signs, causes and treatment can create a safe environment - whether at home or in the workplace - whereby people feel as though they can talk about their problems and access appropriate interventions. This course will provide you with an introduction to the concept of mental illness, the signs and symptoms of the most common mental illnesses and how mental distress can be successfully managed.
