What people are saying

mental health

This course was a good introduction to the subject & paves a way to further study as it gives a good insight into the areas affecting young people’s mental health.

The links to mental health charities websites also helps in providing information & services available to young people & increased my awareness to access information too.

It has been divided into small manageable sections and gives a good insight into some common mental health conditions.

Brilliant course to give you a start with supporting young people with mental health difficulties .

Quite a broad overview of several issues faced without going into too much detail.

They also, in my opinion, they emphasized that trust is a very important issue with getting help more important than dealing with more people who you can not trust.

It led to a great deal of reading online, all dealing with this subject.
