Description
Is there MORE THAN ONE way to think about mental health?This course is great if you:
- Think that there could be different ways to think about mental health
- Sometimes feel challenged by other people’s views on mental health
We think that there is value in exploring and being open to different ways of interpreting people’s experiences. This course will offer space to listen to other’s ideas, and consider helpful ways to talk about your ideas.
You will have the opportunity to draw on different frameworks to develop your own unique understanding of mental health and well-being.
All our courses look at different ideas in mental health, but this is a great one to try if you’re still not sure what that really means.
