Practical Tools for Mental Health Awareness

Overview

Mental health affects every part of our daily lives—our relationships, work, learning, and overall wellbeing. Yet many people still struggle to recognize the signs of poor mental health or feel uncertain about how to offer support. While theory provides understanding, what we really need are practical tools that can be applied in real-world settings.

Practical Tools for Mental Health Awareness is a course designed to do exactly that. By combining principles from Psychology, Counselling, and Therapy with actionable strategies, this training empowers learners to confidently identify challenges, offer meaningful support, and promote resilience. Whether you’re supporting a colleague, family member, student, or yourself, these tools give you a framework for understanding and responding effectively.

Course Description

This is not just another lecture-based mental health course—it’s a hands-on guide packed with usable strategies. You’ll explore common mental health conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression while learning practical counselling skills like active listening, empathy, and supportive questioning. You’ll also discover therapy-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques that can be adapted for everyday use.

By the end of this course, you won’t just understand the importance of Mental Health Awareness—you’ll walk away with a toolkit of strategies you can use at home, in the workplace, or within your community.
