@Suze_5000818 I could not agree more Suze! Seeing what a consumer has done when they were very unwell compared to themselves now are almost polar opposites. I have found that it shows you how impacting a mental illness is but also how far they have come within their recovery.

@rati5000818 @MHR5000818 I think consumer or client is a better term as it empowers and challenges the old mental health act and mental health facilities

[Annie @A5000818]

@Bec5000818 @MHR5000818 At my placement consumer are either referred to as consumers or clients

[Annie @A5000818]

Sat in on a summary and clinical review for two consumers. The entire multidisciplinary team was involved and it was an open discussion allowing the consumer to see the notes that had been taken about them.

I am really enjoying using therapeutic listening when talking to consumers. I love how open some are regarding their mental illness and about the voices they hear.

[Annie @A5000818]

@Melodee5000818 @MHR5000818 Could not agree with this more!

[Annie @A5000818]

I am really enjoying learning about the recovery model and promoting independence with the consumers I am caring for!

Good use of active listening and probing throughout when talking to someone experiencing psychosis

@Merry5000818 @MHR5000818 Autocorrect! Hahaha, your one makes a whole lot more sense :')

A helpful mnemonic for the big five is CONAE (conscientiousness, opennes, necrotism, agreeabless, extroversion).

I really enjoyed how the Long Goodbye gave a snapshot into what it is like caring for someone with Dementia/Alzheimer's. It was nice to have their voices heard. I also enjoyed how it explored the idea of having control once you are diagnosed with Dementia.

I attempted to find the original article but I heard on a news podcast that mental health education will be implemented in most Australian schools by 2020 as a way to teach children and adolescents healthy coping strategies
