This course aims to make you aware of people’s experiences with and the causes of mental health conditions, dementia and learning disabilities.
While you may not be working in a role that directly supports people with mental ill-health, dementia or learning disabilities, it is important for all health or social care workers to be aware about these conditions. This is so that any signs and symptoms that you notice are passed on to other workers and that you show compassion and understanding when you experience any behaviour that you find difficult to understand or respond to.
