This course looks at a range of issues including psychosis, depression, anxiety, dementia and learning disabilities and how you can support individuals. Social care practitioners should adopt a person-centred approach when formulating care and support plans, as an individual’s needs will differ depending on their situation and family/support network. This course looks at differing support needs and how a positive attitude can improve the outcomes of those you support. It also examines the legislation governing people with various support needs. Your learners will understand the legal framework surrounding mental health as well as develop deeper appreciation of various mental health issues and the challenges associated with them.
