Mental Health Awareness Training Reviews

A really good introduction to Mental Health issues and coping strategies. It was interesting and thought-provoking.

It is refreshing to hear the topic being spoken about in a 'matter of fact' way. I am used to patronising or overly sensitive delivery on this topic, and it is good to address the importance of having a mental health toolkit rather than just expecting external support.

Very informative

I am very happy to do the training and I’ve learned some ideas from here I can apply to myself and I can share to my friends , colleagues and family.. thank you very much and Godbless x

A most informative and useful guide to creating Awareness and where/how to seek help. Don't suffer in silence… talk to someone you trust… take baby steps to recovery… be positive!

As someone living with mental illness, this feels very unhelpful. 'Change your negative thoughts to positive ones' doesn't really work if you're in that bad of a place. It's like telling someone to think themselves better, it does nothing to address the possible trauma or chemical imbalances causing the problem. Managers & HR supporting you if you disclose a difficulty? Very rare. Talk to your GP for help? If you're lucky, there might be help available locally, but often there's a lengthy waiting list and the number of sessions are limited, so the problems don't get resolved. Depression isn't just being sad/tearful. Often you don't feel anything – good or bad. We don't need sticking plaster courses to make us 'aware' of mental health, that make you feel good because you passed a test. We need proper systemic change, funding and support of services, so that people actually stand a chance of getting the help
