Module description
This component enables you as an MHWP to mobilise resources in collaboration with service users, carers and families – including information, resources within the multi-disciplinary team and beyond in the wider community. It also enables MHWPs to make effective use of clinical supervision and to look after their own wellbeing.
Module aims - intentions of the module
MWHP will develop the skills to draw on local resources, work with multi-disciplinary teams and ensure appropriate information can be given the service users to support recovery. Sound clinical and theoretical principles will underpin hypothesis and MWHP will be able to share decision making with service users. Professional standards will facilitate safe care for those forming the MHWP’s caseload. The MHWP will be able to use their services supervision to support their own wellbeing and develop reflective practice.

In this time they will accumulate a minimum of 80 contact hours with service users within an adult community mental health service (of which 40 hours should be specifically delivering low intensity interventions). Reading and preparation around adaptations to practice, and preparation for clinical scenarios should be done within placement time. |
