Mental health concerns how we think, feel and behave and mental health problems can affect anyone. In fact, as many as one in four people in the UK will be diagnosed with a mental health issue at some point in their lives. This figure indicates that most people will have first-hand experience of mental distress, whether it be themselves or someone they know. The learning materials for the Certificate in Mental Health Awareness will provide learners with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the various forms of mental distress, including stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, dementia and schizophrenia among others. Mental distress takes many forms. This qualification aims to broaden learners' knowledge of mental ill-health and the most commonly diagnosed mental health conditions. Learners will develop an awareness of the signs and symptoms of these conditions and how they may affect people's day-to-day lives. Learners will also gain an insight into how these conditions can be successfully managed. The qualification is currently designated as a target-bearing full Level 2 qualification and is mapped to the Skills for Health National Occupational Standards and the knowledge set for dementia from Skills for Care. Consequently, employers can be assured that staff who complete this programme are meeting industry standards. The Level 2 Certificate in Mental Health Awareness comprises four concise module workbooks which combine the following units: Unit 01: Understanding Mental Health (Credit value: 4) Unit 02: Understanding Stress (Credit value: 1) Unit 03: Understanding Anxiety (Credit value: 1) Unit 04: Understanding Phobias (Credit value: 1) Unit 05: Understanding Depression (Credit value: 1) Unit 06: Understanding Post-Natal Depression (Credit value: 1) Unit 07: Understanding Bipolar Disorder (Credit value: 1) Unit 08: Understanding Schizophrenia (Credit value: 1) Unit 09: Understanding Dementia (Credit value: 1) Unit 10
