The Mental Health and Family Learning pack
October 2008
£0.00
About This Publication
This resource pack is aimed at managers and practitioners in adult learning,
particularly family learning and mental health services who want to work in
partnership to improve, set up or develop opportunities that promote access
to family learning for adults experiencing mental health difficulties. The pack
may also be useful for anyone interested in mental health and family learning.
This pack is not exhaustive and does not aim to enable you to become an
‘expert’ in either family learning or mental health. The pack is more about
increasing awareness of the other sector and how you may work together.
The contents of the pack have been inspired by events held in the summer of
2007, where practitioners from family learning and mental health came
together to highlight what work already exists in this area, how it could be
developed and what information each sector would find useful in a resource
pack.
Useful facts about mental health within families are given over the page; they
highlight how much there is a need to develop provision, including learning
opportunities, that help to support families where members experience
mental health difficulties.
While we are all trying to support learners in the best ways, we all have
different perspectives, depending on our own background and professional
expertise. This pack tries to open up these differences and increase each
other’s understanding about these areas.
The pack has been designed with loose leaf sheets to allow you easy access to
them and to photocopy them for colleagues.
