Course Overview
This specially designed, regulated one-day training course for schools and universities offers a nationally recognised Level 2 FAA Award and Qualification. The course is available through classroom-based or online delivery and is accompanied by a course manual.
The course will give participants the skills and tools to recognise the early signs of mental health conditions, an understanding of mental health, and the factors that can affect mental wellbeing.
The course will provide participants with a range of practical tools and techniques to help grow their confidence to support themselves, their colleagues, students, and peers. Participants will also learn how to prevent issues from arising by building a supportive culture, encouraging positive conversations, and creating a healthy climate around mental wellbeing.
Participants will not be taught how to diagnose or treat mental health conditions, as this can only be carried out by professionals who have the appropriate knowledge, experience, and qualifications.
