About this course

The aim of this course is to offer basic information and insights into types of mental ill health and distress, symptoms and causes. We shall consider how poor mental health impacts on people’s lives; and we shall explore types and sources of support to improve wellbeing. 

By the end of the course, learners will have achieved: 

  • A basic understanding of causes and symptoms of the main types of mental illness; an appreciation that there are different ways of defining and describing mental health difficulties; knowledge about accessing a diagnosis: what to expect and the benefits of obtaining this; theoretical and practical awareness of sources of support and their benefits 

This course offers a basic introduction which can lead to progression to accredited learning on a CACHE Level 1 course in Mental Health Awareness which will offer a deeper and broader learning experience on this subject.


Learners will require note-taking materials -either pen and notepad, voice recorder (learners are very welcome to record oral teaching as a reasonable adjustment but will be asked not to record personal disclosures) 


Learners will be sent  PowerPoint presentations and supplementary handouts. 


As this course is online, a suitable device such as laptop, smart phone, tablet or computer will be required to access the course.  Zoom will be used for the live sessions and the link will be sent to you once your enrolment has been completed.
