Introducing Mental Health
This is a 1-day in-house course for social care staff whose roles require some basic awareness of mental health issues and the key skills required to work with service users suffering from psychiatric disorders such as Schizophrenia and Depression.
The programme offers an overview of the major mental disorders, the effect of such disorders on sufferers, how they are approached by medical and social care professionals and an examination of some of the myths and stereotypes that surround mental ill health.
We shall also be introducing delegates to a 'Toolkit' of simple skills and interventions that can make working with mental disorder a constructive and rewarding experience for both workers and clients.
PLEASE NOTE
This 1-day course is not available in the shortened 3-hour format, but as with all our courses can be expanded and adapted for particular local needs. Please contact us for further details or just complete our simple quotation request form.
