Practical Mental Health Awareness

Overview

Mental health is not just a clinical issue—it’s part of our everyday lives. From workplaces to schools to personal relationships, understanding and supporting mental wellbeing is vital. While theory is important, what people need most are practical skills they can apply in real situations.

Practical Mental Health Awareness is designed to bridge the gap between knowledge and action. By combining key concepts from Psychology, Counselling, and Therapy with hands-on strategies, this course empowers learners to recognize challenges, provide support, and promote wellbeing in personal, professional, and community settings.
