Course overview
Understanding the needs of individuals grappling with serious mental illness is essential for fostering their recovery.
“Recovery involves the development of new meaning and purpose in one’s life as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of mental illness’’.
While recovery is a personal journey, it is not one that individuals can undertake entirely on their own. It necessitates the support of family, friends, and a multidisciplinary team (MDT). The MDT comprises of various healthcare professionals collaborating to deliver comprehensive patient care, including psychiatrists, nurses, occupational therapists, and psychologists.
This short learning programme, crafted by industry experts, equips healthcare workers with a robust grasp of patient care in the realm of psychiatric illness.
