We are running the UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE Course on Tuesday 23 May 2023.
The cost of the course is £200 plus VAT per person and runs from 9.00 am—4.00 pm.
Did you know that 1 in 4 people in the UK are likely to experience mental health problems each year?
Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet whilst we know how to take care of our own physical health, many people do not know how to support friends, relatives or even colleagues who are experiencing poor mental health. By developing a greater understanding of common mental health conditions, as well as how best to support and guide someone to professional help, you can help to reduce the stigma associated with mental health in the UK.
