It is estimated that, in the UK one in every four citizens will experience mental health problems at some point in their lives. In your work, many of you will be helping clients who are presenting with a whole range of overt mental health symptoms, or with their symptoms disguised by other factors (such as substance misuse).
Our courses try to separate fact from myth around areas of mental health, address and reduce fears, and focus on how you can make positive interventions in your own services, and signpost clients to more specialist services where appropriate.
