Self-directed online training
Event description
Although there are more similarities than difference between the sexes in presentations and management of mental illness, the mental health needs of men and women are significantly affected by gender. Best practice recognises the specific vulnerabilities of men and women to different forms of mental illness and how gender may affect presentation and management of symptoms. This topic considers the implications of both sex and gender categories for mental health practice and some of the effects on individual outcomes.
