Central to a broad understanding of mental health, this module will focus on classification of mental health presentations across a spectrum of severity, ranging from general wellbeing to severe and enduring mental health presentations. Students will consider how a range of mental health problems present, are identified and differentiated. Varied learning approaches with a particular focus on case examples will develop understanding and facilitate effective and confident communication regarding a wide range of mental health presentations. Students will also be encouraged to reflect on the impact of experiencing a range of mental health presentations to develop their reflective skills and awareness of the impact of mental health presentations for each individual and their wider network.
