In an easy to understand, pragmatic way that encourages sharing and support; using the Zoom interactive platform, discuss how MH can be managed and the impact of mental illness lessened by understanding care and nurture

• Identifying community level mental conditions
• How the treatment works (drugs and therapy)
• Managing behaviour and variations in emotion

Effective Communication
Aims: To explore we communicate? Can we be sure the person we are talking to understands what we are trying to say? How can I listen more effectively? Am I making assumptions? Are those assumptions correct? How clearly am I communicating? 
​
The course includes the following subjects:
• How communication works
• ​Approaching difficult conversations
• Strategies for communication
Non Verbal Communication (basic sign)
Aims: Most of our ability to communicate is non-verbal, yet we rely heavily on what someone says or what we hear. How can we communicate effectively non verbally? How does signing work? Can we learn how to use non verbal communication to benefit us in every day situations?

The course includes the following subjects
• Understanding and processing non verbal prompts
• How to communicate non verbally
• Some basic, useful signing practice
​

​Self Harm Awareness
Aims: What compels someone to commit an act of self harm? Is it the same as a suicide attempt? What can a carer/parent do? Do we intervene? Do we ignore it? – the session is designed to unravel some of the complexities of self harming in an attempt to offer a therapeutic level of support

The course includes the following subjects:
• Why would someone self harm? What happens to the brain when they do
• How can we support a person who self harms?
• Planning to manage the risk and planning for the future
