About this course
The Mental Health eLearning course aims to introduce you to the topic of mental health problems.
It begins by introducing the psychiatric classification system and explaining its strengths and weaknesses. It then outlines the different categories of mental ill health and signs and symptoms of each. Our Mental Health eLearning course also examines five different frameworks for explaining mental health problems, including the medical model, social model, cognitive behavioural model, psychodynamic model and vulnerability-stress model. The Mental Health online course helps you identify indications of mental ill health and examine the impact that mental distress has on the individual and others around them. The module explains the different support and treatment options and also introduces three legislations particularly important when dealing with mental health problems.

Level 3 AET was incredible. Loved it
"I loved the entire process as it was well supported with resources and templates. I enjoyed filling out the booklet and learning new things. The professional discussion with Zoe was the highlight of the program. It's just so good to talk to a fellow trainer outside of work and learn from each other. Highly recommend the course of level 3 AET!"
