Week 4

tab.png Context

 For most of us communication skills and dealing with people day to day is a natural and normal thing. This week we have looked at ways of becoming more effective in terms of communication skills, especially in a care or therapeutic context. However, when we deal with people who are mentally ill we may encounter confusion and distress, and a person who is unable to communicate in ways we would normally expect. How can we use the more advanced skills to help in these situations?
