COURSE OVERVIEW

According to the UK mental health charity “Mind”, approximately 25% of us (1 out of every 4 people) experience mental health issues each year. Although this number has not changed significantly in recent years (excluding during the C-19 pandemic), worries related to money, job security and loss of benefits can make it harder for people to cope.

This excellent course will give you a strong insight into the common causes of MH issues. Given the increased and growing awareness surfacing in society, it’s very likely that you will know or be caring for someone with a mental health concern.

If you want to work in the mental health sector, it is a first-class primer, and is also useful for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if you’re involved in a related field or sector.

The statistics for mental health problems make for sobering reading. The following is reproduced from the Mind website (www.mind.org.uk):

Every seven (7) years a survey is conducted in England to measure and categorise the number of people who have different mental health challenges each year. It was last published in 2016 and reported these figures:

Depression                                          6 in 100 people

Anxiety                                                7 in 100 people

Mixed anxiety and depression            7 in 100 people

Phobias                                               6 in 100 people

OCD                                                    3 in 100 people

Panic disorder                                     2 in 100 people

Post traumatic stress disorder            0 in 100 people

Eating disorders                                  6 in 100 people

The survey also reveals that 17 in 100 people have suicidal thoughts during their lifetime, and 3 in 100 consider self-harm. It is thought at least some of these should be attributed to PTSD.

Studying this course can make a massive difference to your own life, and to that of others. Knowledge is power; this course can potentially give you both. It’s a fantastic opportunity to engage with and explore the primary issues affecting a growing sector of national importance, offering wide-ranging employment possibilities. Don’t delay; enrol today…
