Mental Health, Dementia & Learning Disabilities Online Training Course
This training course is about three of the major aspects of care you are likely to come across in your role. If you don't think all three are relevant, you should know that one in three people experience challenges with mental health in their lifetime, dementia is not just about older people and people can have learning disabilities without a diagnosis.
That's why Skills for Care have made it a requirement to cover these. This course can be used as a refresher if you have already done the Care Certificate.
This course is part of our unlimited Course and Certificate package
Pricing for Social Care Training starts from £3 per person per month inclusive more info>>
