Mental Health Awareness

About our Mental Health Awareness course

Mental health at work has never been so important. That's why it's so vital that as many people as possible are mental health aware. Our working life can have an impact on the quality of our mental health too. Fostering a greater understanding of mental illness and promoting good mental health benefits everyone.

That's why we at St John Ambulance Cymru are offering this half-day mental health awareness course. The more people who have a foundation in mental ill health awareness, the more we can offer support to those that need them. It's not just physical health that needs our attention.

Learn about the common mental health conditions, risk factors to be aware of, signs and symptoms of mental health difficulties, and how to help. It also advises delegates on how to stay mentally healthy at work.

We also offer this as an online course which is delivered via Zoom.
