Level 2 Certificate in Awareness of Mental Health Problems

Mental health presents one of the greatest challenges to our society. With an estimated 450 million people worldwide dealing with mental health issues, around a quarter of British adults will experience some form of mental health issue within their adult life. While many elements of mental health are still not understood, having a good knowledge of the information that is available is essential in the care sector.

This course is ideal for those currently working or hoping to start a career in a health care profession. This course is also suitable for anyone who has an interest or would like to gain a better understanding of the causes, effects, and management of various mental health conditions.
