    • Course overview

      Did you know that one in four British adults experiences at least one diagnosable mental health problem each year? 

      The most common is mixed anxiety and depression, but there are so many other issues which have a huge impact on a person’s life and the people around them.

      This course is designed to help those who work around people with mental health problems to understand each condition fully. It would also be beneficial to anyone who has seen someone experience mental health problems and would like to find out more about the meaning, causes, effects, symptoms and management of the condition. 

      This is an online course. You will receive your welcome email with further details within 48 hours of enrolment. Once you have enrolled, you will be asked to provide a copy of an official form of ID, such as passport, before receiving your login details.

      • This includes case studies to demonstrate how skills can be applied in practical situations and a series of activities to support your assessment preparation.
      • Once you have completed the module workbook and activities you will then need to complete the assessment activity using the online learning platform.

      Assessments are completed online throughout your course to evaluate your knowledge and understanding of the subject matter. They will be broken down into manageable tasks and once enrolled, you will receive an assessment schedule detailing deadlines so you can plan your studies.

      Assessments can take many forms but typically they are short written answers to a series of questions or statements. Your personal tutor will support you with any questions you may have relating to the assessment content and process. Your personal tutor will aim to provide feedback on your submission within 7 days and be able to confirm if the submission has achieved the assessment criteria or provide support and guidance if additional work is required.
