Mental Health Awareness and Support

Overview

Mental health challenges are becoming increasingly common, yet many people don’t know how to respond or provide the right support. Understanding is important, but the ability to take action and provide meaningful help is what truly makes a difference.

Mental Health Awareness and Support is a practical training program that combines the principles of Psychology, Counselling, and Therapy with real-world strategies. This course equips learners with the skills to recognize mental health issues, respond empathetically, and offer supportive tools in personal, professional, and community settings.

Course Description

This course bridges the gap between awareness and action. You’ll explore the fundamentals of mental health awareness, gain insight into the psychology behind mental health challenges, and learn practical counselling skills to provide support when it’s most needed.

With therapy-based approaches such as CBT and mindfulness, alongside case studies and role-play exercises, the program focuses on building confidence in addressing mental health concerns. Whether you are supporting a colleague, a student, a loved one, or community members, you’ll develop skills to handle sensitive situations responsibly and with care.

By the end of the course, you will be prepared not only to recognize mental health challenges but also to offer effective, empathetic, and constructive support.
