Super objective: To take a practical and common sense approach, providing advice and understanding of how to recognise common mental health conditions and to introduce the essentials of mental health, consider it in the context of physical health and normalise mental health in terms of its applicability to all of us.
Description: Many of us feel that we lack knowledge and understanding of what mental health and distress actually means and this can lead to anxiety about engaging and dealing with those who have a mental health condition. With one in four of us experiencing a mental health issue in our lifetimes, this programme provides a greater understanding of issues around mental health, stigma and support.
