Mental Health In Construction Certificate Course
There are four main purposes of this course: Firstly, to raise awareness of common mental health issues arising within the construction industry and how these are affected by the specific demands of working in this sector.
Secondly, the course is designed to help you learn to recognise signs and predisposing factors in common mental health problems, in both yourself and those with whom you work. We will look specifically at depression, anxiety and stress, explaining clearly what these are, how they manifest and what you can do about them, as well as providing direction towards further resources, should you need information about other mental health conditions.
Thirdly, the course seeks to provide an insight into the importance of establishing a cultural shift within the construction industry, away from the stigmatisation of mental health issues and towards a culture of openness, compassion and information. We’ll offer down-to-earth guidance on the transformative benefits of speaking out and creating a working environment whereby it feels safe for people to do so.
Finally, this course is designed to equip you with your own personal mental health wellbeing toolbox, full of practical, realistic and scientifically proven strategies, to help you to support your own mental wellbeing, as well as that of those around you.
You will Learn:
- Common issues affecting the mental health and wellbeing of workers within the construction industry
- Signs to look out for if you’re concerned about your own mental health or that of your colleagues or employees
- The nature of depression, anxiety and stress, as some of the most common experiences at play within the realm of mental ill health — how to recognise them, how they may affect people and what you can do, to move through the difficulties that they bring about
- How to establish a culture of open communication in the workplace around mental health, in order to destigmatise people’s suffering, to minimise the compounding factors of isolation, fear and ‘macho’ culture that can be at play
- How to approach talking to someone about experiencing a mental health concern
- An array of lifestyle factors that you can work on or adapt, to support your mental health, including diet and exercise, relational health and community
Benefits of Taking this Course:
- You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the nature of mental health problems and the ways in which they can specifically affect those working in construction
- Awareness is the single most powerful instigator of change, and by becoming more aware, through taking this course, you’ll be empowered to help effect change in the workplace, to make the construction industry a healthier place
- You will be given a practical approach that is designed to be immediately applicable in day-to-day scenarios
- Knowledge regarding where to go for help, and how, and what you can do, to help support yourself or anyone who may need a helping hand towards better mental wellbeing

I am only 5 modules in to the course but is delivering above what I expected. Content is well explained and easy to digest and I like that I can do it at my own rate and without time pressure.
I have a dace agree that covers anatomy etc and this has been an thorough refresher for me. Highly recommended. (Well priced too.)

Great course. Easily readable online, no jargon and had up to date information and illustrations as well as the sources that were used within the modules. Most modules had an assessment at the end where you could check your own knowledge - this was a great add on to ensure you are up to speed. The exam was easily laid out great with no tricky to read questions. The completion certificate was easily accessible on completion and you are given your grade immediately after the exam - it even gives you the option to see your incorrect answers so you can review them in your own leisure. All of the modules are printable so you can ready back as often as you like. Not only this, but throughout the whole course, you have the ability to email representatives of the course who will answer any questions you may have and they are very prompt with their responses. I was overall very happy with this course and will definitely keep New Skills Academy in mind when taking future course. Thank you!
Gemma Johnston
Quick and easy, can learn in your own time which was great. I have an 8-week old baby and managed to complete with no pressure. Everything was broken down so well and helpful videos along the way.
Will be taking more courses with New Skills Academy, I wish I did the course years ago. I have the experience in waxing but because I gave up my college course to have my baby, I don’t have the time to go back and I was close to qualifying.
I took this course and passed without all the hassle of going back for a year. Thank you, New Skills Academy.

My dream has come true. Eventually I found this online course after searching for years in my area where none of the colleges provided it and it is necessary to get my dream job.
I got an incredible discount and what I like the best I got a lifetime access to the course, so there is no rush and I can revisit any time to revise as well.
Excellent support and immediate response to emails, I am very pleased. The course material is written in an easily understandable way, no hidden fees and mobile friendly so I can learn anywhere.

I love being able to study from home, the site is easy to use and I like being able to just log in and study for as long as I have free then pick it up again the next day or a week later. I lost my job suddenly with no notice and decided to take the opportunity to get back into something new I intended to do long ago but just never had the time or money to do so. The great prices for online learning and being able to learn from home whilst doing part time work have helped out so much when on a budget and being unable to be able attend full time college courses.

The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
Ross Dunsten
Very interesting and helpful course. I ve learned a lot of interesting things about make up and the tutorials were very helpful and easy to understand. I really reccomend this course for everyone who is passionate about make up and wish to develop their skills and make a career from their hobby.
Nicoleta Lucaci
Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.
Nichola Anderson
This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem. The test wasn’t too hard if you completed every module. It may be handy to make some notes before you start. Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Thank you New skills for my New skills :)
Julia Bobkova
Excellent course, well explained and easy to understand. The course can be done at my own pace and is available on various devices.
