Mental Health Awareness Training Reviews

This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars

the course is really educative and good for personal wellbeing

I enjoyed the science of thinking/ turning a negative into a positive

Very clearly put with simple techniques and strategies outlined. Well presented.

Whilst the course does give a good first overview on different mental health issues. I think it should also focus on how mental health can be improved AT work, and what our responsibilities are regarding our own and our colleague's mental health to create an environment where people feel supported. Some of the suggestions are shallow and generalising (e.g. going to bed earlier doesn't necessary mean you sleep, certainly not if work stress is the cause of your insomnia!). Also, some of the test questions are ridiculous – for example, if your job pushes you to a breaking point, you shouldn't be working outside of your comfort zone! As employers it is our duty to support our employees and make reasonable adjustments, which is not highlighted at all on this course, which basically puts the blame on the employee for having "negative thought patterns" and the solution offered is to "change your outlook" or "have you tried CBT" when actually the mental health issue may be directly caused by an unreasonable workload, or workplace bullying, and reasonable adjustments at work may be required.

Very informative, well organised and great contents. Thoroughly enjoyed it and many great points to consider and put into practice to improve overall wellbeing.

Full of very useful information in a very simple easy to understand format.
