If your wellbeing is becoming a top priority for you, and you feel like you need extra support, there’s plenty of avenues you can go down - or even suggest to your family, friends and colleagues if they need some guidance.

About this course

The sad truth is that workers in the care sector have a suicide rate almost twice as high as the national average. Additionally, workers in this sector are vulnerable to a variety of mental health issues.

In fact, 84% of carers report that they feel stressed, 78% report suffering from anxiety, and 55% report that they have suffered from depression as a result of their work - care workers mental wellbeing isn’t always addressed or even considered by their employer.

Workers in the profession have some of the most emotionally challenging jobs imaginable. Caring for vulnerable people themselves, they often prioritise other's mental wellbeing over their own.

Our Mental Health Awareness Training for Carers and Nurses is broken down into 4 easy-to-follow and beautifully animated sections which aim to educate learners on the various types of mental health problems, the science behind our thinking, and where to go to for external help. The course is suitable for anybody working in the care sector, including doctors, nurses, carers, youth workers, social care workers, therapists, charity workers and volunteers.

Amazing module that straightforwardly talks about mental health and how it can link to work. It is good to know that mental health is now considered as a normal part of any job and that this training will hopefully address issues that ourselves or our colleagues may not be keen to talk/think about

Excellent overview of a complex subject
