SUMMARY
Supporting a person with complex needs can be difficult, but more so when we associate that support with stigmatized myths and fears around mental illness. This session will see you increase in empathy and confidence in supporting clients/consumers in their journey of vocation and/or employment.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
- Awareness of co-morbidity and prevalence in understanding mental illness support
- Unpacking the myths associated with psychosis and substance use
- Defining psychosis and recognizing the major signs and symptoms
- Defining Substance Use problems
- Unpacking referral and support options
Facilitator
JULES HADDOCK
Jules is an expert in the Mental Health industry, and a trainer with The Anxious Bird
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.
