Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace
Supporting the people around us who are experiencing poor mental health has become a priority for many people and the organisations they work in.
A greater understanding of common mental health issues has developed over the last few years and there has been a rise in the number of people who want to act as a Mental Health First Aider, to support and guide those around them.
By developing a greater understanding of common mental health issues, as well as how best to support and guide someone experiencing poor mental health, Mental Health First Aiders play a vital role in reducing the stigma associated with mental health in the UK.
