Programme Synopsis

The Certificate in Mental Wellness is a unique program, projected to promote Mental Health and raises awareness and understanding of mental health issues and reduces the stigma of mental illness through education and training. Mental wellness or good Mental Health is feeling, thinking, and interacting in ways that help you enjoy life and deal effectively with difficult situations, and to wipe out the negative uncommon emotions and image that the diagnosis of mental illness has in our society.

We want to strive to create an awareness and understanding on what causes mental disorder and face the reality and accept the challenges confidently in order to lead a healthy life. Mental illnesses are disorders that are associated with the brain, which is a biological condition, including the environmental and sociological factors that cause such disorders in a person. Although most mental disorders were classified as family disorders, but research has confirmed that effective psychotropic medications and immediate treatment could assist in recovering.

Through this program, participants will have a wider knowledge to diagnose their loved ones, friends, colleague and others, and learn to understand their feelings and emotions in order to provide the emotional support respectively. Moreover those diagnosed with mental illness have a different rate of recovery period and it’s important for us to accept the varying degree of recovery and to continuously provide the tender touch. As a member to the society, it is important for us to accept the reality of mental illnesses and to give a helping hand with a caring heart.

This program is highly relevant for those who work in the fields of education, social services, healthcare settings, human resource management, counselling and other related fields.
