Mental Health Awareness Course

Only 14% of employees in the UK feel comfortable talking to their line manager about mental health, even though poor mental wellbeing costs UK employers an estimated £56 BILLION every single year. That disconnect between the scale of the problem and the confidence to actually address it is exactly why this course exists. This Mental Health Awareness Diploma course builds your understanding from the ground up, so you’re never the person in the room who doesn’t know what to say or do.

This course works for you wherever you are in your career, whether you’re in health and social care, education, HR, or just someone who wants to show up better for the people around them. It’s fully online and completely self-paced, so you can dip in and out whenever life allows. And with CPD accreditation behind it, it’s the kind of training your employer will genuinely appreciate seeing on your professional record.

You’ll cover everything from foundational mental health concepts right through to personality disorders, UK legislation, workplace wellbeing strategies, and self-care practices for people who support others. By the time you finish, you’ll have a CPD certificate, a solid understanding of mental health in a UK context, and the confidence to have those conversations that genuinely make a difference in someone’s life.
