Overview

Learn to Understand and Handle Mental Health in the Workplace the Right Way

Workplaces are where most of us spend the majority of our lives — and they have a powerful influence on our wellbeing. When mental health is ignored, employees may feel isolated, unsafe, or unable to perform at their best. Yet when mental health is understood and supported, workplaces become safer, healthier, and more productive for everyone.

This IPHM-accredited professional development course is designed to help you build the knowledge and skills to handle mental health in the workplace the right way. It’s not just about responding when problems like absenteeism, stress, or burnout arise. It’s about preventing these issues by creating a workplace culture that supports people, reduces stigma, and encourages open and respectful communication.

You will learn how to:

  • Understand common mental health conditions and how they show up at work.

  • Recognise when colleagues may be struggling and know how to respond appropriately.

  • Handle mental health disclosures ethically and with confidence.

  • Create safer, more inclusive environments that reduce stigma and protect wellbeing.

This course is not limited to HR or business owners. It is suitable for any professional who wants to strengthen their understanding of mental health in the workplace – whether you are a manager, team member, small business owner, or simply someone who wants to support colleagues and foster healthier work environments.

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.
