Description :

Despite it being assumed that there are precise diagnoses and interventions in mental health, there are intense debates about what constitutes mental health or ill health and appropriate responses. Relying on a social work perspective, this workshop will explore your understanding of mental health, pick up current debates (e.g. issues around a bio-medical approach, diagnosis, use of alternatives, autonomy and family involvement) and explore why these may be relevant in our daily personal and professional interactions. Openness to recognising that there are debates is needed.

Instructor: Jeanette Schmid is a retired social work practitioner, educator and researcher with substantive experience across a variety of fields and international settings. She is biased towards social justice and social transformation, and is keen on exploring diverse knowledge(s).
