This course explains the difference between mental health and mental illness.
It covers the symptoms of a number of the most common mental illnesses so you will know what to look out for
or what to expect if you are working with someone with one of these conditions.
As well as providing some practical advice on how you can work effectively with those affected by these
conditions.
