Course Summary

This course provides a broad introduction to the topics of mental health, mental wellbeing and stress and how to adapt the services you deliver for customers displaying signs of poor mental health.

We begin by considering the signs and symptoms of a range of mental health conditions and the main effects of stress; and how to spot these signs in our interactions with customers.

We then take a look at why people with mental health issues might find using the company’s services challenging as well as obtaining employment. We cover how to deal sensitively and effectively with customers who become vulnerable or challenging due to their mental health; before finishing with an overview of support services for mental health.

The topics are explored using a variety of group and individual activities to ensure delegates understand the content fully and can change their practice as a result.
