Become a qualified Mental Health Ambassador.
Do you want to help others and improve and promote mental health? If so, this is the course for you.
In the first half, we'll learn about different mental health conditions and how we can help people with each one using the Real Support Framework (REAL-SF). This will give you an easy-to-follow, 6-step framework to support those around you and provide mental health first aid.
In the second half, we'll learn how to promote a better understanding of mental illness among our friends, colleagues and the general public, increasing education levels and promoting good mental health.
We'll also look at specific mental health conditions including:
Depression
Anxiety
Panic attacks
Bereavement
Drugs and alcohol
Self-harm
Suicide
Dementia
And we will put these into real-world situations with a series of case studies to explore what it is like to be a Mental Health Ambassador in everyday situations.
Becoming a Mental Health Ambassador requires no prior knowledge as long as you have a genuine desire to improve mental health. Watch the video or check out our preview lessons to get a taste of what is inside the course.
