At ‘Informed Level’ there are three adult educational animations that inform individuals working with adults about mental health, how to maintain this; the factors that can lead to mental distress or mental ill-health; how to have compassionate conversations which sets out how to support people who are experiencing mental distress or may be feeling suicidal and help them seek help.
These are contained within an e-module on Turas Informed Level Resources | Turas | Learn (nhs.scot) and are also available below. Although these can be viewed on their own, it would be recommended that these are viewed as part of a wider learning activity.
