Mental Health Courses

​Mental health training for care workers is essential in UK care homes to ensure residents receive compassionate and effective support. Approximately 70% of individuals in residential care have some form of dementia, yet only 29% of care staff have received dementia-specific training . This gap can lead to inadequate care and increased reliance on psychotropic medications. Moreover, mental health issues among care workers themselves are prevalent, with nearly one-third of sickness absences attributed to stress and mental health conditions . Providing mental health training not only enhances the quality of care for residents but also supports the well-being of staff, fostering a healthier environment for all.
