This E-Learning module is an introduction to mental health and wellbeing in the workplace; outlining what is mental health; what affects our mental health; what is stress; depression; anxiety and how can we manage it as well as where to go to seek help and support if we need it. The course is split into 5 sections and gives participants the tools and techniques to enable them to look after their own mental wellbeing through self-help techniques. Recognise when they might need help and support and directs them to access both community and voluntary support as well as appropriate professional help if needed.
A Derry-born charity, we now have two offices; one in Derry/Londonderry and a second office in Belfast. AWARE has an established network of 23 support groups in rural and urban areas across the country, which are run by our trained volunteers. Support groups welcome people with depression and bipolar disorder as well as carers for people with the illness. We also deliver Information Outreach sessions and attend community events to give more information about AWARE and our services.
