This course builds that awareness and gives you practical tools to use it. Across 3 modules, you'll learn about common mental health conditions and how they present in everyday life, how to have supportive conversations with people who are struggling, when and how to refer someone to professional help, and how to look after your own mental health in a demanding work environment.
