Overview

Description

Mental conditions are among the most prevalent health problems around, with one in four adults in the UK diagnosed with a mental illness. However, their prevalence is not limited in the UK, but around the world as well.

Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and other severe mental health problems are recognised as the primary drivers of disability for a lot of people. They affect not only the individuals concerned but also the people close to them. Left unchecked and untreated, mental health problems can lead to costly consequences on physical health, education, employment and relationships. This makes it all the more critical to understand mental health and the disorders that can affect it, as well as the ways such problems can be prevented and treated.

This Online Mental Health course will help you understand what mental health is all about, from its major models and policies to various classifications of mental illness. It will also tackle mental health practice and the development of multi-disciplinary teams to address mental health issues within the community. The course will also go over various treatments available for mental health patients, along with the advocacy services that protect the rights and provide support to mentally ill persons.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
