| About The Provider |
Alison is one of the world’s largest free
learning platforms for education and skills training. It is a for-profit social
enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our
mission we are a catalyst for positive social change, creating opportunity,
prosperity, and equality for everyone. Alison was founded in Galway, Ireland, in 2007
and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,
Alison is changing how the world learns and up-skills. They are committed to equality and access to
education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a
difference. He believes in social impact, and that you can build a financially
successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
One in four adults experience some form of mental health problems during their lifetime, and mental illness not only affects the individuals concerned but also their families and friends. In this free online mental health course you will learn about the issues of stigma and discrimination, as well as discuss the importance of the promotion of mental well-being.
The course begins by showing you how to differentiate people with normal behavior from those with mental distress. You will also learn how to identify a range of neurotic and psychotic behavioral tendencies. The next area covered is the sensitive area of suicide. The course covers how to identify the signs of suicidal thoughts, and measures that can be taken to prevent suicide. The course also covers a range of personality disorders, phobias, neurotic behaviors, and the complex area of substance abuse.
This course is not just for mental health counselors and other professionals in the social and health industries, but is also helpful for anyone who has experienced mental health issues personally and those with a general interest in this health area. So start this course today and you will greatly improve your chances of helping someone (including possibly yourself) deal with serious mental health issues.
