This Professional Studies program is offered for 0.3 PS CEUs at the little/none Content Knowledge Level.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we’d love for you to join us on May 29th to learn more with us! We’ll delve into a few mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, and discuss what resources and support might entail. While this webinar will begin with a general overview of each disorder, participants will learn vicariously through lived experiences of consumers and apply learned skills by analyzing case studies in breakout rooms. We can’t wait to see you on Wednesday, May 29th!
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Describe the general concepts of schizophrenia, bipolar, anxiety, and depression disorders,
- Distinguish the difference in roles of various members of a consumer’s care team and the role of the interpreter,
- Identify and demonstrate varying communication needs based on symptoms of the consumer,
- Assess the situation to determine if the interpreter is exacerbating symptoms and adjust accordingly, and
- Employ a more comprehensive interpretation of a mental health risk assessment.
