CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Awareness of Mental Health Problems

In 2013, 75% of people with mental health problems in the UK admitted that they have shied away from having close personal relationships as a result of their condition. A shocking 82% said they felt embarrassed and ashamed of their problem.
