SUMMARY
It is well accepted that people with disabilities face many barriers in vocation and employment pathways. Have you ever considered there is a HUGE barrier that we don’t, see? That is mental illness. This session will encourage you to be curious and responsive in thinking directly about mental wellbeing support beyond the presenting disability.
This session will equip you with understanding the importance of mental wellness, and the vital contributions we can offer a client in maximizing their employment and vocation pathways.
For our job seekers and ourselves, this means success through an increased engagement towards creating a model and awareness of mental wellness, contributing to positive steps of engagement.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
- Understanding Dual Diagnosis- When both a disability and mental illness are present
- Operating within the frameworks of success
- Appreciating communication requirements and tools for recovery support.
Facilitator
JULES HADDOCK
Jules is an expert in the Mental Health industry, and a trainer with genU Training (RTO 5553).
An accomplished conversationalist in mental health education, Jules has an engaging and creative approach in helping communities understand mental illness and how to manage the invisible learning blocks and walls often confronted, in learning expeditions. She takes the myths and fictitious beliefs about mental illness, and weaves participants into developing safe and confident based approaches that can be used in supporting and maximising confidence in “the space” for both teacher and learner.
With gaiety and passion, she introduces us into an awareness of mental health literacy, recovery, and the importance of embracing strength based and person-centred learning for each student.
