We are delighted to advise you that the February series is on mental health and wellbeing, a topic which has been the most popular request from participants of the Academy sessions to date.
Mental health is a big issue affecting us all:
- One in four people experience some form of mental health problem in the course of a year
- 20% of women and 13% of men have a common mental health problem – mainly anxiety and depression
- There is a stigma associated with mental health problems which deter people from seeking help with delays in accessing professional support
- Community pharmacy is well placed to support individuals and signpost them to appropriate local resources.
By attending, this evening Academy workshop will help you:
- Understand more about common mental health conditions to be more mental health aware
- Know how to signpost to local services and resources that enable people to help themselves
- Develop the skills and confidence to work support others, including work colleagues
- Learn how to support people in distress for example, those at risk of suicide, who have been bereaved, are having a panic attack or may be self-harming
We will cover:
- What is mental health and wellbeing?
- Why is supporting mental health and wellbeing is important?
- Your role in raising awareness, promoting mental wellbeing, helping people to help themselves and signposting to resources
- Common mental health conditions
- Frameworks and skills to support engagement with individuals
- Supporting individuals in distress
- Looking after your own mental health
