About this course

Free Level 2 Mental Health Awareness Course in Liverpool. Classes run at 3D Training. There are no formal entry requirements, and you do not need to be working in mental health to take part. Over around 2 months, you'll build a solid understanding of mental health conditions, how they affect people, and how to respond appropriately. The course suits people working in health, education, social care, or public services, as well as those aiming to move into those fields. It's a knowledge-based qualification, so the focus is on understanding rather than workplace practice.

Who this course is for

This short course is for you if you need or would like to know more about mental health, perhaps for a current job role or because you are aiming to work in a public service, health, education or social care role in the future. It's particularly suitable if you have already achieved a Level 1 qualification in a related area such as health and social care. It's a knowledge-based qualification so you don't need to be working in mental health to achieve it.
