Understanding Behavioral Health Issues, Consequences of Untreated Mental Illness, and Working with This Population
Quarterly Mental Health Lunch Series!
Program Description
Working with clients who have a serious mental illness presents many different challenges. Often those afflicted by mental illness lack the insight and awareness to advocate for their own best interests. A lack of insight and failure to function independently can become grave enough to require significant supervision and assistance from others. In such cases, professional help is a necessity and often a client's legal status must be affected to administer proper treatment. Individuals being treated involuntarily for a mental illness are offered a court-appointed attorney to represent their legal interests. This presentation will provide fundamental knowledge about common mental illnesses, how such diagnoses manifest and progress, challenges faced by this population, and discussion of basic treatment modalities. Best practices for interacting with clients who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis will also be addressed.
