How to reduce suicide risk

By Human Givens College

– the practical steps you need to know This live online suicide intervention training covers a wealth of essential information and strategies to help you help anyone you suspect may be thinking about or planning suicide, or who has survived a previous attempt… Accredited CPD Certificate: 6 hours Length: 1 day (9.15am - 4.00pm GMT) You never know when you may need these skills… Brilliant! I’ve been on previous suicide intervention courses over the years, but this is by far the best – great pace, very knowledgeable trainer...who brings real experience into the learning...SUE HASWELL Join Malcolm Hanson LIVE ONLINE on Tuesday 12th March for his essential suicide intervention training, delivered via Zoom. Book your place and we’ll send you the Zoom link the day before the event. BONUS Recording – the training is recorded, in case anyone experiences technical difficulties, so you also get a recording for a limited time afterwards to maximise your learning. Why take this suicide prevention course Suicide can be a difficult subject to broach and a daunting one to deal with – anyone working with distressed or depressed people wants to keep them safe, to give them the hope they need that circumstances can change for the better, and to provide the skills for coping until that comes about. When people can’t envisage an end to their difficulties, particularly in highly challenging times, a slump into depression can all too quickly spiral down into suicidal thoughts, plans and suicide attempts. The negative trance state of depression itself can beguile people into thinking that there is no other way out of their hopelessness. Thankfully, there is much we can do to help – as this indepth suicide intervention course shows. Tutor Malcolm Hanson has a wealth of experience at helping seriously distressed people get through difficulties which he draws upon as he takes you clearly through the steps to take when faced with anyone who feels suicidal. (He worked for 9 years as a psychotherapist in NHS primary care in an area of extreme deprivation, and for many more years since has seen patients referred by GPs, social workers, psychiatrists, police and probation officers for complex issues.) He has successfully helped clients experiencing multiple trauma (including veterans), chronic pain and terminal illness, clients struggling with uncertain asylum status or facing deportation, and also victims of human trafficking – a tragic range of circumstances in which even the most resilient may sometimes sink into despair. His compassion and understanding shine through this course as he shares with you what he has learnt, along with the latest psychiatric research and risk assessment strategies, to give you the knowledge and assurance you need to work confidently and respectfully with clients struggling to find reasons to stay alive. You will learn how to build in expectation of positive change from the start, have plenty of time to benefit from group discussions and will work through case scenarios with other attendees to help embed your learning. Suicide affects countless people, not only those directly involved, and is now the most common cause of death in men aged 17 to 34. The highest suicide rate is in men aged 45–49; in women, it is highest in those aged between 50–54.1 Join us for this practical online suicide prevention training to learn how you can help reverse this state of affairs… Book your place So much helpful and insightful information delivered in a way that was easy to listen to and take on board...STEVEN TESSEYMAN What will you learn Deeper insight into when and why different people consider suicide Crucial elements needed to build rapport with suicidal people Why most suicidal crises are surprisingly temporary How to normalise circumstances safely A model for running therapeutic sessions that best manages suicide risk Ways to use your own demeanour to instil confidence in the person who is feeling suicidal Effective information gathering to challenge unhelpful beliefs What to look for in their answers to your questions How to broach the subject of suicidal thoughts A structure for difficult conversations The ability to reframe unhelpful beliefs Methods of risk assessment that do not risk losing rapport Advances in psychiatric research on suicide risk management and the implications of this for psychotherapy and counselling How to use language of influence Effective means to address beliefs about being a burden How to set realistic and empowering goals How to make best use of the client’s own resources The importance of addressing emotional needs How to create a safety plan Strategies for client safe self-management between sessions The power of guided imagery for working with suicidal clients Powerful insights and hope from real case histories How to take care of yourself – and more… Malcolm is a wonderful communicator: so clear, measured and thoughtful ... it was a pleasure and privilege to learn from himMATTHEW HOPKINS Course Programme The ‘How To Reduce Suicide Risk’ live online course starts at 9.15am and runs until 4.00pm. 9.15am Join the Zoom meeting 9.30am The important first steps for suicide risk management 11.00am Comfort break and discussion 11.30am Working with what the client brings 1.00pm Lunch break 1.45pm Rehearsing the safety plan 2.45pm Comfort break and discussion 3.00pm Putting what you have learned into practice 4.00pm Day ends Who is this suicide awareness and prevention course for?

From Stress to Psychosis

By Human Givens College

How to prevent mental illness New insights into the causes of mental illness, including severe conditions like schizophrenia, are explaining distressing symptoms and reducing suffering… Despite the billions spent trying to alleviate mental illness around the world, the rates of mental and emotional distress are increasing. Why? What is going wrong? Why are millions of people so stressed? And what can we do about it? Brilliant online course! At last, a clear explanation of what causes mental illnesses.PSYCHOLOGIST Why take this course ‘From Stress to Psychosis: how to prevent mental illness’ gives you the answers – and much more.. Over the last two decades, course tutor Ivan Tyrrell has played an influential role in integrating psychotherapy and counselling with the latest findings about brain functioning and human behaviour. On his enlightening course, you will find out how this knowledge – and the many insights derived from it – can be easily applied to improve the mental health of people suffering from a wide range of conditions, including the more serious. He explains, among other things, what happens to us when the brain is put under stress; why stress is associated with mental illness; why some people experience psychotic episodes and others don’t; what the difference is between being ‘stressed’ – which doesn’t feel good – and being ‘stretched’, which does. And why people on the autistic spectrum experience stress so intensely. You will also discover what people need to lead mentally and emotionally healthy lives – and what the best type of help is for anyone requiring psychotherapeutic interventions in order to recover quickly from stress overload, depression and anxiety disorders (including PTSD). And you will learn about a revolutionary new theory – described by some psychiatrists as “the only model on the table that explains the symptoms of schizophrenia” – which throws much-needed light on this distressing illness and explains why it has been virtually eliminated in communities where the correct approach to dealing with early onset of psychosis exists. The resulting psychotherapeutic human givens guidelines are already improving treatment – bringing important new hope to sufferers and those working with or caring for them. A different approach to the medical model – more humane and holistic, which is what is needed.OUTREACH & DEVELOPMENT WORKER (MENTAL HEALTH) What will you learn A better understanding of what ‘mental illness’ is The three reasons why all mental illnesses arise Why some stressed people – but not others – go on to experience psychotic symptoms (such as hallucinations, delusions and hearing voices) A richer understanding of the mind/body connection and its impact on our emotional and psychological health What increasing stress levels do to our brains and bodies Information about more effective treatment possibilities that are opening up for clinical psychology, psychotherapy and counselling A moving insight into Asperger’s syndrome Why high functioning people with Asperger’s are easily stressed and cause stress in others What everyone needs to be mentally and emotionally healthy – and how to maintain that wellbeing Natural ways of reducing emotional arousal and avoiding stress overload The central role of emotions in our lives – and why taking it into account is essential for psychotherapy to be successful Knowledge of the APET™ model – which rapidly improves psychotherapeutic outcomes and interventions – and how to integrate it into your work Illuminating case histories The brain as a pattern-matching organ – and what this means for mental health and successful therapy A remarkable observation (shown on film) about the connection between stress, dreaming, depression and psychosis Includes: Course notes Accredited CPD certificate and much more… Counts towards a Diploma By taking this course, you could be on your way to completing Part 1 of the Human Givens Diploma – a flexible, part-time psychotherapy course which will deepen your psychological knowledge and increase your ability to help people effectively and quickly.

Anger Management Diploma Course

By Elearncollege

Description Anger Management Diploma Anger management is a training to keep your anger under control by learning the skills and techniques to remain calm and composed. Anger is considered as a negative emotion which results from frustration or in order to protect ourselves from other vulnerable feelings. Factors like stress, abuse, physical and mental taxing can all act as triggers of anger. Anger Management Diploma deals with anger management lessons so that people can lead a life free of anger and related negative emotions. Anger is an active emotion that urges the person to respond immediately and the response in most cases is unfavourable. Anger can lead to problems both to the instigator and instigated and that is why it is essential to keep it in control. There are many ways to prevent and control anger and in turn remove the unwanted and unpleasant reactions concerned with it. These anger-controlling techniques include ignoring it and forgiving the instigator. Getting adequate sleep, sufficient exercise and a balanced diet can sometimes act as tools to prevent anger. Relaxation, breathing exercises, cognitive restructuring and imagery are all examples of anger management techniques.

Neuroscience Course

3.5(2)

By Elearncollege

Description Neuroscience Diploma  In biology, a sub-field known as neuroscience is concerned with analysing the structure of our nervous system, how it functions, and how it has evolved. Neuroscience is a constantly changing discipline; however, its contents may be categorised into various branches, such as clinical, cognitive, developmental, and computational neuroscience. It is an interdisciplinary study closely associated with physics, chemistry, medicine, computer science, linguistics, philosophy, and engineering. Neuroscientists concentrate on analysing the nervous system at both the cellular and operational levels to see how it impacts behavioural events and patterns. Their research may include hypothesising theories or conducting laboratory experiments using special techniques, tools, or computer simulations. In the Neuroscience Diploma course, students will learn how to examine the nervous system, including its structure and biological processes, and how these apply to the development of artificial intelligence systems. There are different specialisations that people can choose within the field, such as behavioural and cognitive, affective, molecular, neuroimaging, neurolinguistics, neurophysiology, social neuroscience, and many more. Most jobs available for someone with a background in neuroscience would mostly be in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, with companies that handle communication and information science, and with organisations that manage public health structures. Traditionally, the discipline of neuroscience had birthed professionals like neuroanatomists, neurologists, neuro-pharmacologists, neurological surgeons, technicians dealing with electro-neurodiagnostic machines, and psychiatrists. Students will learn about the nervous system's neurophysiology and functional organisation to better understand human behaviour. Find out how neural systems work in our brain and spinal cord to help us detect things, move different parts of our bodies, store information we obtain from our senses, relate it to emotions, and analyse it using various cognitive processes. The main objective of this Neuroscience Diploma course is to help students establish the foundational knowledge that will help them understand how sensations may be impaired, how injuries may lead to physical or cognitive difficulties and other diseases or malfunctioning of the nervous system. Through the Neuroscience Diploma course, you will come to know how neurons transmit information among themselves using electrical impulses. This course is an introductory course on the functioning and organisation of the central nervous system. Various topics will be covered, including the structure of neurons, the neurotransmitters in the brain, electrical impulses as signals, motor and sensory systems, the neurobiological aspect of human development, simple circuits, learning, and human behaviour. What you will learn   1:A Walkthrough of Your Nervous System  2:Know About Your Brain and Spinal Cord  3:Sensory Neuron and The Skin  4:Role of Eye in Vision  5:The Auditory System  6:Taste and Smell 7:Movement 8:Know About Intelligence Emotions and Consciousness 9:The Role of Brain in Language 10:Role of Brain in Learning and Memory  Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.

Bipolar Disorder Awareness Course

3.5(2)

By Elearncollege

Description Bipolar Disorder Awareness Diploma  To comprehend 'Bipolar Disorder', we must first discuss the topic of mental illness. You will be able to develop a holistic approach to the term while taking this Diploma. The Bipolar Disorder Awareness Diploma plans to address the following concerns: 1.Who does it affect? 2.Commonly prevalent forms of cerebral ailments 3.Disputes surrounding the concept 4.Prevention methods 5.Causes and predictions suggested by the latest reports Bipolar disorder is prevalent in various forms. While more commonly, people suffering from it experience moodiness and sensitivity, other variations fluctuate significantly. Through your readings and research, you will learn about the different types and expand your in-depth knowledge of their symptoms, treatments and impact on the victim. Psychiatrists believe this disorder is triggered, sustained and deteriorated by more than a couple of factors. The course details the findings of research scholars about linkages between mental health and several other genetic & ecological aspects. Though it's a diagnosis, bipolar disorder is usually accompanied by two or more auxiliary psychiatric ailments. The Bipolar Disorder Awareness Course studies the range of these co-occurring mental illnesses. Medication is only part of- the treatment for bipolar disorder. The Diploma explores the typically prescribed drugs for each variation, including the working, administration, reactions, usefulness and associated risks of drug intake, especially during pregnancy. As stated above, the treatment isn't restricted to just medication. There are alternative measures available for those diagnosed with this condition. Psychotherapy is one such treatment. It inspires people with bipolar disorders to talk about their problems freely to benefit the larger population. Bipolar Disorder Awareness Diploma covers the use of psychotherapy, its benefits, application and efficiency. Most medical professionals believe that although there is no cure for bipolar disorder, one can control its effects by making significant lifestyle changes in your diet, sleep, exercise, social interactions, etc. This can help prevent frequent mood swings and reduce the intensity of those that occur. Along with psychology and medication, this course familiarizes you with the other steps a patient can take. Bipolar disorder affects not only those suffering from it but also their near and dear ones. The Diploma explores the challenges encountered by people close to a victim. It elucidates how to overcome them, effectively communicate when someone around you is going through mood swings, and have a crisis plan. The idea is to care for the patient and also for those who are guardians/caretakers. After all, they must also ensure their health to care for others. The diagnosis of bipolar disorder can happen at any age or stage in life, and it is regarded as a lasting condition. This Bipolar Disorder Awareness Diploma elaborates its effect on people of different ages, focusing on the problems that kids, teenagers, young adults, the middle-aged and the elders have to cope with. It helps them and their loved ones develop a healthy and fruitful lifestyle. Last but not least, the Bipolar Disorder Awareness Diploma course carefully studies the link between the disorder and career development, the issue of judgement & discrimination, everyday problems and adjustments. It discusses how companies can nurture a trusting, open and harmonious work environment toward a win-win. What you will learn 1: Introduction to Bipolar Disorder  2: Bipolar Types 3: Making the right planning to protect yourself from bipolar disorder  4: Differentiate Bipolar Disorder from Other Health Issues  5: Know the Signs  6: Finding Out Triggers points and Stressors  7: Changing Your Life  8: Stand with Your Loved One  9: Plan of Action to Face Possible Crisis  10: Help Your Bipolar Youngster  Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.
