The video presentation will highlight the relationship between our physical and mental health and provide an overview of common mental health conditions and the typical signs and symptoms.  Creative tools and strategies will be presented to increase skills in identifying signs and symptoms of common mental health conditions and good practice guidance for supporting themselves, a colleague or customer to access support to increase wellbeing.

The interactive session will apply the theory from the video and offer practical opportunities for measuring personal wellbeing and that of others using self-assessment tools and risk assessments. Staff will be engaged in a range of scenarios that will build their knowledge and confidence about the process of diagnosis for mental health illnesses and will be clear about how to support themselves or others through the process. Strategies will be provided to support staff to manage their own and others’ positive wellbeing and be clear about how to get help in emergency situations.

The learning resources are designed to provide a more in-depth and personal learning approach which will develop a deeper understanding of theory relating to mental health.  Practical tools will be provided to support staff to monitor and assess mental health with clear guidance about how to access appropriate professional help.
