You will learn how to effectively communicate with someone who may be experiencing mental health problems, as well as being able to sign post them to the appropriate professional services. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Advisory\u003c\/strong\u003e – This course is for those who are on low incomes, unemployed and wish to take this qualification into the workplace to boost their CV and become a Mental Health Lead in a working environment.
