Understanding Mental Illness (2 day)
 

This workshop is designed for those who are new to the mental health field, or for those seeking a better understanding of the complexities that surround mental illness.  Statistics show that one in five people will experience a mental illness at some time in their life.   While common, understanding the issues around mental illness can be confusing and overwhelming.  This workshop will give participants a general overview of common adult mental illnesses and their symptoms, causes and treatment.  The issues related to mental illness and the connections between substance abuse, suicide and self-injury will also be addressed.
