Severe and persistent mental illnesses (SPMI) are a group of mental health disorders that can have a significant impact on a person’s life. These disorders can substantially interfere with major activities of daily living. This impact can be present in their family relations, learning and development, work and social integration. Participants of this workshop will learn the basic difference between a mental health condition and severe and persistent mental illness through understanding the diagnostic criteria. Exercises and case examples specific to the unique practice settings of participants are incorporated to promote knowledge transfer and skill application practice.
