Description

According to statistics from MIND around 300 people out of every 1000 will experience some mental health problems every year in the UK and over 10% of these people will be diagnosed with having a mental health problem.

Yet, despite this statistic, leading campaigns, such as Time to Change show that for many their problems are worsened by the lack of understanding, stigma and discrimination that they experience from society.

Topics considered include:

The main types of mental illness
The main treatments and medication available
The underpinning legislation and codes relating to mental health
Practical tips such as engaging with the client

Consideration of the question of capacity
Best interests
Duty of confidentiality and disclosure

What you'll learn
