Mental Health In Construction Certificate

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

Clear and informative content, excellently delivered for students of all levels to easily undertake.

This course gave me a great level of understanding to confidently take on even further payroll related education. It filled in the gaps where my knowledge was not so strong, which I have now confidently applied to my day to day job.

A boost on my CV which I feel will make me more attractive to future employers. Overall excellent and highly recommended!

Alex Hooton

The course was very well structured and I have a clear idea from all subjects. All the subjects have examples and highlight very important information during the course.

It is suitable for my needs in improving my qualification and doing an online course which transmits all necessary information.

The material is very relevant to the day-to-day activities in a bank and show me how many options I have available inside the bank industry and which qualifications I need. I am very happy with it and I recommend everyone who has some curiosity to learn more about the banking sector.

Diogo Miranda

I started the HR Management Diploma Level 2 – CPD Certified & IVCAS Accredited in November 2016, and I can say hand on heart it has been the best experience of my life.

Everything I have learnt here, every lesson, has been practical and useful, with real skills that are relevant to the real world, instead of hours of boring theory and history of the subject. Straight away we were learning real web design.

This course has been incredibly helpful and I have learnt far more than I could have ever imagined and I have only completed 4 of the 20 modules.

Chloe Gibson

Really good course that covered lots of different areas within events planning. I liked that, if there were any questions you got wrong on the tests, you could find out which ones and try again. Lots of case studies to look through too.

Hannah Lemmon

A great course to reinforce the knowledge I have gained through on-the-job experience. Now I have the confidence in my experience to apply for better jobs to utilise my newly learned skills. Being able to complete the course at my own speed and when convenient was great and suited my situation. Also being able to review the modules as I was progressing really helped it sink in thoroughly. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in HR, any section of the arena, either to learn, to brush up on existing knowledge or like me, to be able to prove that I know the basics of the HR function.

Jo Kesbey

This course was very informative and i loved that it could be done at my own pace and not have deadlines to reach.

Even my dog loved the benefits and being my practice dummy!
