Level-2 Award in First Aid for Mental Health – 1 Day Course
Mental health challenges affect a significant portion of the UK population, with 1 in 4 people experiencing a condition annually and 1 in 6 employees dealing with mental health concerns at work. Stress, often linked to the workplace, remains a major factor impacting performance and well-being.
