Hi Folks
As some of you may be aware, that has been a lot of news recently about mental health.
One of my best friends committed suicide a few years ago because he could not cope with his mental issues, and another friend of mine is going through some mental health issues at the moment.
I thought it was a good idea to train myself up or go on a training course in order to become a mental health advisor/counsellor.
Is anybody aware of any suitable online courses?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
Hi,
Try the following link

They do courses on Mental Health First Aid. I did a short 2-day one to get an understanding of the issue to use at work, but they also do 7-day courses (spread over two months) for people who also want to be trainers,
Thanks
