About the course.
This course is about how you can get better at meeting and helping people with mental ill-health. You will learn about the most common mental illnesses and how you can communicate with those affected. We go through how to create a good relationship, set reasonable boundaries when needed, handle dissatisfaction, threats and aggression, and take care of yourself in the encounter. The goal is for you to take away the knowledge and skills you need to understand and be able to talk to everyone you meet.
Everyone who meets people in their work comes into contact with people who are struggling mentally. For these encounters to go well and create a sense of security, you need knowledge of the most common forms of mental ill-health and how best to talk to people who are not doing well. This course gives you what you need to help the person affected and at the same time get something out of it for yourself. Feeling that you dare to meet everyone you encounter and are able to help the vast majority creates security and job satisfaction for yourself. Bring in whoever you like here to my room, I can handle it!
