Why choose ILS?
At Inspired Learning Solutions, we believe mental health awareness should be practical, approachable and relevant to everyday care.
Our training helps staff look beyond a diagnosis to understand the person, recognise changes in wellbeing and feel more confident about how they can provide appropriate support. The course is mapped to relevant care standards and mental health and wellbeing principles.
Can this course be tailored?
Yes. We can tailor the course around your organisation, the people you support and the situations your staff are most likely to encounter. This can include relevant scenarios, policies, procedures and examples from your own care environment.
