Self-directed online training
Event description
Social wellbeing can be profoundly affected by the experience of mental illness through a breakdown and loss of daily contacts, connections and relationships. People with a mental illness can find themselves very socially isolated, which is a further risk factor for poor health and mortality. Re-establishing and maintaining social connectedness may require specific supports. This topic demonstrates how mental health practitioners can operate as a bridge to social connectedness and enhanced social wellbeing, and explores the complexities and boundaries of professional, peer and social relationships.
