Basic and informative

I can relate to all of the challenges of Mental Health. I am menopausal and struggling. Would be good to have that included as it has a huge effect on many women's mental health, often misdiagnosed as depression or early onset dementia. Just a thought. To raise awareness.

A good course covering the basic with breathing exercises and making people aware of mental health and how it can effect us all. Shows indicators and possible treatment/ways to improve.

individual videos provided clear and concise information/advice on all topics discussed

This course does make you aware of what to look for in colleagues that may be struggling.

A very interesting and informative course that is especially relevant within the present national situation and the ongoing working conditions. Difficult to cover the whole range and possibilities in the time allocated but a helpful oversight.

this seems like it should be the introduction to an in-depth course rather than the course itself - there the opening was too long and I didn't see the need to split this into 1min videos when 1 x 3/4 minute video would do. why don't the videos play automatically?

The course gives very basic information about mental health topics, with the empahsis on looking after your own mental health. Although the points raised in the training are important, I personally believe that this course is not comprehensive enough to be classed as 'mental health awareness'. For me the training should be called something like 'An introduction to mental health'. Mental health awareness should be teaching us about the range of illnesses, triggers, symptoms, and most importantly - how can the learner support someone with a mental health disorder, not just depression and anxiety, but other disorders like bipolar or an eating disorder. In educating people about the different diagnoses, it can help break down stigma and discrimination that comes from the lack of awareness of the less common psychiatric illnesses. By educating work forces in what I would class as 'mental health awareness' it can help create an accepting environment for those with common and more complex illnesses. It can also help employees pick up on early warning sigs of serious illnesses, like psychosis or mania. The last point I want to raise is, in your information about self harm, you say that some young people 'grow out of self harm', this implies that self harm is a childish behaviour and can be interpreted as patronising . I work as a mental health recovery practitioner, I support clients who self harm and I self harmed as teenager; I know that all of us would collectively say it isn't the right term to use and you are giving out the wrong information.
