Free courses support positive mental health for 2021

During Mental Health Awareness Month 2021, Bradford College is offering free courses for people who want to make a positive difference through learning. 

Forster College, part of the Bradford College family, is offering the level 2 qualifications, helping learners gain a greater understanding of a range of topics and issues related to mental wellbeing.

They are therefore ideal for those who work with members of the public and would enhance the CV of anyone hoping to work in care, support or education.

  • Certificate in Understanding Children and Young people’s mental Health
  • Counselling Skills
