Part 2: Basic Introduction to Mental Illness

Recorded May 2022; 92 minutes

If you work with vulnerable people, there are three mental illnesses you need a basic understanding of: 
  • schizophrenia
  • bipolar disorder, and 
  • personality disorders. 

In fact, 40+% of people struggling with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder also suffer from “anosognosia” which is a “lack of insight or awareness into one’s own mental condition.” 

In this training, you’ll learn symptoms of each illness and specific tools for managing problematic behavior. You’ll also hear powerful, first-hand accounts from individuals who are currently living with these illnesses.
