Anyone can be affected by a mental health condition either themselves or a family member, friend or colleague.

The QNUK Level 3 Award in Mental Health at Work (RQF) is the ideal qualification for mental health ambassadors in the workplace. With a responsibility to protect the health of employees at work, having mental health ambassadors highlights the organisations commitment to promoting positive mental health awareness. The qualification covers a range of mental health conditions; some more common than others, how to identify potential mental health concerns in colleagues and then how to discuss their needs and assist them to access suitable services and support.

This qualification is aimed at employees in any industry or sector and is suitable for managers and team members alike. With an increase in poor mental health it is important that individuals understand their own mental health and how common mental health concerns can be identified in themselves and others. Learners will develop knowledge of a range of mental health conditions, potential impacts on an individual in the workplace and where to refer them for help and support. Learners will hold a mental health conversation with the aim of providing support. This qualification gives learners personal growth and engagement in learning.
