Stress has become part of our every day living. This every day stress if not properly managed can lead to mental health problems. One of the most affected aspects of mental health problems is our work because this is where most of us spend the largest part of our waking hours and yet the work place is one where this subject is seldom discussed. This basic course will help create awareness and help begin the conversations around mental health.
The course begins by defining what being mentally healthy is. We then begin to look at the temporary and serious mental health disorders around us and the likely causes in order to recognize them in ourselves and in others.

This course provides important insight in a way that is easy to grasp by even those of us who do not work in the medical field.
