I received a whole pack of knowledge on SUD Through this course,I encourage all to register to develop mental health nursing
I’m a practising psychologist and have always thought SUD is not my domain of expertise as I had a negative outlook towards relapse and how that affects the efficiency of therapy.
I wanted to do this course to test my limitations and biases as a professional and learn as a blank slate. This course turned out to be an eye-opener for me to understand many subtilities we can never know or understand by reading any material online – this is how effective it is crafted – very informative, practical and experiential learning centred for practical skill building!
They say, that if you walk into a course and walk out a different person – you have learnt something – I know I’m walking out differently after this course.
Thank you NIMHANS and Team for this amazing support (they are very proactive when you reach out to them for any issues/challenges) for making me a better professional. I will try to pass on this learning and use it effectively to touch and impact more lives in the way and means I can!!
The module presents a complex topic in an easy to understand format.
The contents are valuable enough to be accessible to all healthcare providers to understand the intricacies of the subject and implement it further in their day to day interactions with their clients/patients.
This course includes interactive quizzes in between, short clips, short answer writing to reflect understanding, and tests at the end of every module.
Even the post-assessment gives an insight into our understanding of the topic and regarding practical applicability on the same.
Looking forward to more such courses to enhance learning and restructure the interventions for the betterment of the society.
