Mental Health Education has become a huge part of life and work. Now is the time to develop your skills and knowledge that you can apply in your current workplace – your future education and your life in general.
You can start with short courses introducing you to areas including mental health, first aid, health and social care, and different health professions. You can then progress through our longer courses into higher and professional levels of study that will enable progression to university or work.

Studies have shown that taking part in education helps people to increase their confidence, social participation and sense of achievement. Studying at Northern College provides a safe space to explore mental health and wellbeing, raising positive awareness.

The staff and tutors are amazing and can give you the confidence to achieve your goals. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Northern College did and still is changing my life; it changes people too. It opens your mind to your dreams, and makes them a reality.
I was made to feel that I did matter and that I was worthy. I was encouraged and supported when I thought I couldn't do it. Despite all the failures I had previously had at other places, I did it at Northern College because I was supported by people who believed in me.
Awesome tutors and a very friendly place. I wish I was still there.
