“We are delighted to be launching this course. The pandemic has made us all more aware of our health and wellbeing. Mental ill-health is now becoming more common, with up to 1 in 4 people affected. Never has it been so important to recognise and respond to these challenges and to understand how it impacts ourselves, family, friends and colleagues.”
