The learning is delivered via a mix of narrated video content (transcripts available) and online resources. The course presenters are Kevin Donovan, the University Workplace Wellbeing Manager and Dr Kirsten Russell, Lecturer in Psychology at Strathclyde.
This module aims to develop awareness and knowledge around:

- The prevalence and nature of mental health difficulties.
- Spotting if someone you know is experiencing poor mental health.
- Starting conversations about wellbeing, mental health and suicide.

As this module covers the subject of mental health and suicide, some individuals may find it emotionally distressing. Please choose a time that is suitable for you to engage with this content and if you think it may be helpful, speak to someone you trust or get support from one of the organisations mentioned at the end of the module or highlighted in the colleague wellbeing hub.
