Executive Summary:

This course is for people interacting with the general public as part of their jobs, to enable you to better understand mental health problems and unusual behaviour, and respond helpfully. 

 There are a number of jobs where knowledge of mental health issues, and the ability to respond well to disturbed or unusual behaviour, is beneficial both to the professional and the member of the public. These include jobs in public service facilities such as hospitals and libraries, jobs in the hospitality sector (such as pubs restaurants and hotels) and many more. So this course covers the major mental health problems that present themselves, the sort of behavior associated with these problems, and the most helpful way to respond: helpful both for the person concerned and for you the professionals.

Who should attend?

Everybody, whether for your own benefit or for the benefit of others.

What you receive.

All delegates on this course receive a workbook covering all the slides in the presentation, a certificate of attendance, and registration as having attended.

Option 2: 'Train the Trainer':

If you or a colleague are a senior professional (e.g. consultant psychologist) and have a talent for communication and teaching, then you are welcome to apply to become an APT-accredited tutor. You could then tutor the course - or your chosen modules from it - in your own organization, under license.
