I took the Professional Certificate in Mental Health First Aid (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great experience!

The course content was well-structured, and I appreciated the focus on practical skills, such as conducting mental health assessments and developing treatment plans. The instructor was knowledgeable and responsive to questions, which was helpful. One thing that I found particularly useful was the discussion on cultural adaptations of mental health first aid, which is essential in a diverse country like Brazil.
