COURSE OVERVIEW:
Welcome to the Support People with Mental Health Issues course. This program has been designed to equip you with the knowledge, practical skills and interpersonal strategies required to support individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions. You will explore the foundations of mental health and mental illness, develop an understanding of common mental health disorders, and build capabilities for safe, ethical and effective engagement with clients, carers and callers in distress. This course also addresses stigma reduction, communication techniques and structured approaches to supporting people across diverse situations.
This course begins by explaining what mental health is, how it differs from mental illness, and how the two concepts intersect across the spectrum of human experience. This learning area describes what good mental health looks like and introduces major mental health conditions including Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Psychosis and Dementia. It outlines who may be affected by each condition and the associated signs, symptoms and early indicators.
The next learning area examines the risk factors that increase vulnerability to mental health issues and the protective factors that support resilience and wellbeing. This learning area explores biological, psychological, social and environmental contributors, and highlights the importance of early identification and supportive intervention.
The next learning area explores how to manage initial contact with clients experiencing mental health issues, including individuals in distress, experiencing panic attacks or feeling agitated. This learning area provides practical approaches to ensuring safety, building rapport, and responding appropriately in unpredictable or escalated situations.
The next learning area addresses safe work practices for conducting home visits and outlines best-practice procedures for handling incoming telephone enquiries. This learning area also discusses how to support callers experiencing hallucinations, delusions, anxiety, depression or anger, as well as strategies for respectfully managing callers who talk excessively, make repeated contact or present as nuisance or sexual callers.
The next learning area focuses on structured counselling interactions and outlines how to conduct supportive conversations that respect autonomy and promote wellbeing. This learning area also explains how to collaborate with carers of individuals with mental health issues, including guidance on communication, boundaries, shared problem-solving and family support.
The next learning area explores the nature of stigma associated with mental illness. This learning area describes why stigma exists, how it affects individuals and communities, and the practical strategies that can be used to reduce stigma in personal, workplace and service environments.
By the end of this course you will be able to distinguish between mental health and mental illness, recognise major mental health conditions and their symptoms, respond safely and effectively to clients in distress, manage diverse interactions across face-to-face and telephone settings, conduct supportive counselling conversations, collaborate constructively with carers, and actively contribute to reducing stigma and promoting positive mental health outcomes in your work environment.
