I took the Professional Certificate in Mental Health Support (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business to improve my skills in supporting friends and family members struggling with mental health issues. The course was really helpful in giving me practical tools and strategies to do so. I liked how the course materials were easy to understand and included lots of real-life examples. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on trauma-informed care - it was so eye-opening to learn about the impact of trauma on mental health. My only suggestion would be to include more interactive elements, like discussion forums or live sessions, to enhance the learning experience.
