| Description: | |||
| CMHNs are frequently the point-of-first-contact with a person suffering from an acute mental illness. Accurately and quickly assessing these potentially volatile people is a crucial nursing skill. Various approaches to managing the mentally ill in the community that are both responsive to the needs of the wider community, as well as the mentally ill individuals and their families will be explored. The practical component will be carried out in community mental health clinics and selected non-government organisations to enhance practical competencies. Full Unit Outline | |||
