Mental health issues are common, with around 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health issue each year in England. They are highly varied and can affect people in a range of different ways, including making them feel stressed, anxious or depressed.
Previously, it was the case that people with depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions would not talk about them with others. However, open discussions about mental health that have taken place over the last few years have helped to lift the stigma previously associated with the topic and can make it easier for us to talk about our mental health with others.
This mental health course is designed to provide staff members in any industry with an understanding of mental health problems, and how to look after their own mental wellbeing and that of those around them.

This course certificate has no expiry date because there is no formally recognised period of validity for any health and safety training or this type of course. The HSE recommends refresher training is carried out whenever it is felt necessary. Safety registration bodies such as CHAS, SafeContractor, ConstructionLine & SMAS and other members of the SSiP scheme recommend that most re-training is done every 3 years. We would recommend refreshing knowledge as and when legislation or guidance changes applicable to these regulations.
