Supporting Mental Health & Wellbeing

This professional guide equips frontline care staff to identify, understand, and effectively support the mental health needs of adults. Grounded in the Care Certificate, particularly Standard 9, and the 6 Cs, the course provides practical strategies for person-centred support. You will learn to recognise common mental health conditions such as depression and psychosis, alongside physical and behavioural signs of distress. It covers effective communication, active listening, and promoting resilience, including the Five Ways to Wellbeing. Understanding UK legal frameworks and professional boundaries, you will gain confidence in responding to distress and crisis, fostering positive wellbeing for those in your care.
