Embracing Autumn: Spotting Low Moods and Supporting Colleagues

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Autumn’s arrival brings changing light and cooler days—feelings that can gently shift our mood. For many, this seasonal change marks the beginning of low energy or gloom. In a workplace, these signs can easily go unnoticed—yet timely support can make a meaningful difference.

At Charity Courses, we are offering the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Mental Health First Aid—a course crafted especially for people working in the third sector and charities. This autumn, it’s more important than ever to notice subtle signs, respond with empathy and encourage wellbeing where it matters most.

Why This Course Matters This Autumn:

  • Recognise what others might not
    Learn how to identify risk factors and signs of mental distress so you can offer timely, compassionate support.
  • Build confidence through accredited learning
    Gain a nationally recognised qualification while honing practical skills such as listening, reassurance and signposting.
  • Champion positive culture in the workplace
    Equip yourself with strategies to foster a supportive, inclusive environment that helps reduce stigma and improves overall wellbeing.
