Course contents
This Mental Health training course is broken down into 4 sections:
- 1Mental Health Awareness
- 2Mental Health Problems
- 3Wellbeing Toolkit
- 4External Help
Section 1
This section introduces mental health and raises awareness about removing stigma, the importance of Mental Health and Wellbeing training, as well as the common triggers of poor mental health, and it provides insight into the influence of negative thought patterns.
Section 2
Section two talks about poor mental health and how to manage it – particularly loneliness, stress, anxiety and depression. It looks at changes in behaviour and what to keep an eye on, with additional resources that provide an overview of other mental illnesses, such as phobias, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, eating disorders and panic attacks – to name a few.
Section 3
Section three of our Mental Health Awareness course is a wellbeing toolkit that can be used to manage day-to-day mental health. It offers a variety of insights, mini-exercises, practical strategies, recommendations and some food for thought so you can use what suits you. It also explains the importance of creating a Wellbeing Action Plan at work.
Section 4
This short final section is a hub for external mental health management. It offers you many starting points for improving mental health, or simply to maintain good mental health. It provides information on books, magazines, websites, apps, helplines and the different types of counselling and therapy that are out there – and how you can get started.
About this course
Nearly two-thirds of people say that they have experienced a mental health problem. The HSE reports that mental ill-health (specifically stress, depression or anxiety) is now accountable for over 50% of all working days lost and 51% of work-related ill health in 2019/20.
One of the biggest challenges with poor mental health is removing the stigma that surrounds it. Many don’t hesitate to seek help for physical pain or problems, yet so many of us ignore emotional and mental health issues – or we feel too embarrassed, confused or scared to talk about them. This Mental Health Awareness Training discusses mental health the way you would a headache or the flu, and it encourages you to take care of yourself as you would a loved one.

Pretty instructive, helpful, and relevant.
I feel that this is a course worth keeping and updating regularly. Mental health is very important, and conversations surrounding it should be had more frequently.
Reflective training.
Good training.

Why is Mental Health Awareness training important?
Business benefits
Under the HASAWA 1974, employers must “so far as is reasonably practicable” protect the health and safety of employees by removing or reducing workplace risks.
There’s more to Mental Health Awareness training than just improving staff wellbeing. Research shows that by investing £1 into staff wellbeing, business owners can expect to see returns of £5 on average. Put simply, happier staff equal more productive staff.
Working towards ISO 45003 compliance?
Section 6 of the ISO 45003 guidance document is all about planning actions to address risks and opportunities. The guidance suggests that one of the key ways to address psychological risks in the workplace is by “increasing resources that assist workers to deal with psychosocial risks by raising awareness and understanding through effective training”.
