Why is this mental health course so important now?
Since lock down began on 16th March 2020, mental health has worsened substantially (by 8.1% on average) as a result of the pandemic. Good mental health is linked to good physical health – both of which support positive social and economic outcomes for individuals and businesses.
More than two-thirds of adults in the UK (69%) report feeling somewhat or very worried about the effect COVID-19 is having on their life. The most common issues affecting wellbeing are worry about the future (63%), feeling stressed or anxious (56%) and feeling bored (49%).
Gaining an understanding of mental health illnesses and how to spot signs of a person’s mental decline is essential for you and your business. With our course, you will gain the confidence to support positive wellbeing for you and others around you.

Mental health disorders account for almost a quarter of the total burden of ill health in the UK.

Based in Wolverhampton, we help, support and train individuals to bring Mental Health First Aid skills into their workplace. Emotional and mental health is important because it’s a vital part of your life. Mental health impacts your thoughts, behaviors and emotions. Being healthy emotionally can promote productivity and effectiveness in activities like your place of work, school or caregiving.
