Course Overview
Since 2009, the number of men having suicidal thoughts has risen dramatically, doubling over that time. Even though more men than ever are willing to talk to a therapist when they feel anxious, down, or overwhelmed, we still have a lot to do to make sure men get the right support for their mental health.
When you finish this course, you’ll receive the 'Level 2 Certificate in Awareness of Mental Health Problems'. Please note: if you already hold a Level 2 Certificate in Awareness of Mental Health Problems, you won’t be able to enrol on this course.
