Course content

Mental health and well-being affect all workplaces, nationally and on a global level. The COVID-19 pandemic has also contributed to a greater awareness of this subject area. If you’re ready to discover the challenges and tactics associated with mental health and well-being, then consider our 100% online Masters course.

This course is applicable not only to those working in the health and social care sector who wish to expand their knowledge, but also professionals spanning a range of industries, such as human resources.
