I approached the Professional Certificate in Mental Health First Aid (Advanced) from Stanmore School of Business with a mix of excitement and skepticism, but I'm pleased to say that the course has exceeded my expectations. As a healthcare professional in Ghana, I was looking for a course that would provide me with the knowledge and skills to support individuals with mental health issues in my community. The course content is detailed and comprehensive, with a good focus on the social determinants of mental health. I appreciated the module on mental health policy and advocacy, which has given me a better understanding of the importance of policy and advocacy in promoting mental health. The course materials are of high quality, although I think they could be more tailored to the African context. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to improve their knowledge in mental health first aid.
