Mental Health Awareness for Employees Online Course

Build your understanding of mental health in the workplace with this CPD accredited online course, designed to help employees at all levels recognise the signs of poor mental health, look after their own wellbeing, and support colleagues who may be struggling. Mental health conditions affect approximately one in four people in the UK each year, and the workplace plays a significant role in both contributing to and alleviating mental health difficulties. This course covers common mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout, and explains how to recognise the early warning signs in yourself and others. You will learn about the factors that can affect mental health at work — such as workload, relationships, job security, and work-life balance — and explore practical strategies for building personal resilience, managing stress, and maintaining good workplace wellbeing. The course also addresses the importance of reducing stigma around mental health, creating a culture where colleagues feel safe to talk, and signposting to appropriate sources of support including Employee Assistance Programmes, the NHS, and mental health charities. Employers have a duty of care to support the health and wellbeing of their staff, and mental health awareness training is increasingly recognised as an essential part of meeting that obligation. Upon completion, you will receive a CPD accredited certificate recognised by employers across all sectors in the UK.
