    This course, Mental Health Awareness and Understanding Bipolar Disorder, is designed to increase awareness, reduce stigma, and build understanding of mental health and bipolar disorder. Through evidence-based content, real-life experiences, interactive activities, and practical tools, participants will explore how mental health impacts all stages of life, from birth through older age, in both personal and professional contexts.

    • Understand mental health and its importance across different life stages, including how emotions and stress impact wellbeing.
    • Identify common causes of poor mental health and challenge common myths and stigma.
    • Gain a clear understanding of bipolar disorder, including types, symptoms, and related conditions such as cyclothymia and rapid cycling.
    • Distinguish between depression and mania, and understand how these affect individuals' thoughts, behaviours, and daily lives.
    • Explore treatment options for bipolar disorder, including medication, self-care strategies, and sources of support.
    • Appreciate lived experiences and recognise the impact of mental health and bipolar disorder in the workplace and beyond.
