Introduction to Mental Health and Mental Well-being for Staff
Supporting Adults with Intellectual Disabilities is a training and self
study resource which has been developed for a range of care and support
staff who work with adults with intellectual disabilities and provides a
full day's training. It aims to provide learners with an understanding
of the mental health needs of this population and to promote mental
health and wellbeing. The materials will also be of value to clinicians
and support professionals relatively new to either mental health or
intellectual disability, as well as students undertaking relevant
courses. Through video clips and exercises, the materials give voice to
the experiences and insights of people with intellectual disabilities
who experience mental health issues. The resource includes slides and
other online resources, guided self-learning, and a separate Pavilion
reader, 'An Introduction to Supporting the Mental Health of People with
Intellectual Disabilities, ' in digital format. Published in association
with The Estia Centre, London South Bank University, and Oxleas NHS
Foundation Trust.
