Section 1

Being the daily witness to the realities of poor mental and physical health has a huge emotional impact that isn’t always addressed by the worker or their organisation. This is one of the leading factors for a high prevalence of mental-ill health in the care sector. In this section, we look at the importance of training, common triggers for poor mental health

Section 2

In this section, we’ll be raising awareness of common mental health problems, particularly anxiety and depression. But we’ll also be looking at how stress and loneliness can have a big influence on your mental health. If you’re interested in learning more, this section also has extra information on a small number of the other common mental illnesses!

Section 3

This section is your Wellbeing Toolkit that can help you look after your mental health on a daily basis. We appreciate that everyone has their own ideas about how to approach their mental health and wellbeing, so this section has a variety of insights, mini exercises, recommendations and some food for thought so you can use what suits you.

Section 4

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. This section provides some useful external resources that you may wish to use to aid your wellbeing.

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.
