Mental Health, Dementia and Learning Disabilities

What is Mental Health, Dementia and Learning Disabilities?

Mental health problems, dementia and learning disabilities affect a substantial proportion of the UK population in any given year. It is therefore important that those who work with people who suffer from, or are at risk of suffering from, these conditions can recognise typical symptoms and react with compassion and understanding. Understanding the conditions, and their sign and symptoms, will also enable those involved to know when to report any concerns they may have about people for whom they care. Furthermore, recognising the conditions will assist in responding to, and dealing with, any unusual associated behaviour.

Who is the Mental Health, Dementia and Learning Disabilities Course Suitable For?

Workers in health and social care who require an understanding of how to recognise and provide appropriate care and support for those affected by mental health problems, dementia and learning disability.

What's Included in the Mental Health, Dementia and Learning Disabilities Course?

This online Mental Health, Dementia and Learning Disabilities course aims to provide the learner with an overview of commonly encountered mental health conditions, dementia and learning disabilities.
