There have been some huge strides made in mental health awareness over the past few years, but there is still so much more to be done. Increasingly, mental health training for professionals is becoming an essential part of the any social care job, as senior staff and project managers are expected to take a more active role in protecting the mental health of their staff and their patients.
There are a multitude of mental health and social care courses around the UK, including mental health certification training, mental health social worker training, and mental health in schools training. Choosing the right course for your needs will allow your company to anticipate and prevent any potentially distressing workplace situations, and to more effectively look out for your employees, co-workers and clients by creating a safe, respectful and professional workspace.
Our mental health training courses are just three hours long and will equip all attendees with the knowledge and background necessary to promote good mental wellbeing in their workplace.
The course is considered to be an essential for anyone who works within the health and social care sector. Over the duration of your training session, you will learn about the history of mental health law, and to understand what happened before the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) was introduced in 2005.
You will learn who is protected by the MCA, and the key principles of this act. We will then take a closer look at the best interest edition, and how to effectively comply with the MCA in professional and educational environments. By the end of the day, we hope that every attendee will have a better understanding of the importance of embedding the principles of the MCA into their daily working lives.
There is no exam at the end of the course – instead, each individual will be subject to an ongoing assessment by the course leader. All delegates will be presented with a certificate of attendance upon completion of the course.
