Self-directed online training
Event description
People with mental illness experience physical health problems at a far higher rate than the rest of the community, and without intervention can expect a greatly reduced longevity. Mental health services and practitioners need to be equipped to support people experiencing mental illness to address and improve their physical health. This topic provides an opportunity for mental health practitioners to recognise effective strategies to address physical health issues.
