Piecing the puzzle together: What you need to work with complex mental health clients
Despite developments in mental healthcare over recent decades, there remains a group of people with very complex needs who require lengthy admissions and high levels of support in the community on discharge. This is the group that mental health rehabilitation services focus on. In the context of contemporary mental health services that minimize in-patient lengths of stay, the needs of this group must not be overlooked. Providing a local, ‘whole system, approach to address their individual needs, patient/health advocates help to address their unique challenges and to avoid the social exclusion of this group can experience.
This webinar will explore some of the difficult issues which may arise with complex mental health clients including:
- Discuss Medical/mental health/substance abuse overlap
- Examine the role of trauma, especially childhood trauma (regardless of the current age of the client)
- Age-appropriate treatment
- Knowing when to augment your knowledge and skills in the interest of your client
