Mental health is one of those things that people used to try and ignore or not speak about, especially in the workplace and in schools. Previously deemed or viewed as a weakness in a person’s character, mental health awareness was non-existent.
Thankfully, with the incredible work done by charities such as Mind and several celebrities around the world, people are now much more aware of Mental Health and the need to be able to help people when they are struggling with this.
Whether you work in a filed that deals with people day in and day out or you are an employer with several employees, you need to ensure you are looking after, being trained in mental health awareness is an invaluable skill to hold.
