Level 3 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health

Delivered in partnership with Islington Adult Community Learning (IACL)

The importance of understanding mental health is increasing. Whether you work in healthcare, education, or business, understanding mental health is vital. What steps would you take to ensure mental health challenges are recognised and supported within your workplace?

This course runs for 2 days a week for 13 weeks from 1pm - 3pm.

What is the Level 3 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health?

As the mental health crisis gains prevalence each year, it is important to have conversations surrounding this topic. Each organisation will need a mental health advocate to support the well-being of its team. Following a turbulent few years, stress and anxieties are increasing as we emerge from the pandemic. Many individuals may need support to adjust after a period of isolation and loneliness.

1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England.

1 in 6 people report experiencing common mental health problems (such as anxiety and depression) in any given week in England.

The primary objective of the Level 3 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health is to enhance awareness and comprehension of mental health and well-being. Our online learning platform offers all the necessary materials, which can be downloaded and perused at any time. Upon completion, this course can aid learners in pursuing relevant employment in a range of industries, such as health and social care, support staff already employed, and managers seeking assistance.

This course is accredited by the NCFE Awarding Body
