  • The Burden of Mental Health illnesses on children10:00

    Mental health illness poses a substantial burden on children sufferers and society at large. Often such children present with symptoms indicative of more than one disorder thereby making difficult for parents, carers, teachers or professionals working with such children to identify signs of mental health, support them and also seek for appropriate support.

    With no early intervention, children may adapt unhelpful behaviors to help them to cope which progress into adulthood thereby causing longstanding health, social, economic and physical difficulties.

    In this lecture, these effects are discussed using case examples for illustration.

Requirements

  • - Have pen and paper ready to take notes and do self assessment activities
