Physical Health and Mental Illness explores the impact of mental illness on physical health and wellbeing. Drawing on best practice guidelines, this one day workshop will provide a range of strategies for participants to utilise when supporting people to improve their physical health within mental health contexts.

• consider the physical health status of people living with a mental illness and their carers
• work effectively within a multidisciplinary team to address a range of physical health needs
• support the person living with a mental illness and/or their carer to improve their physical health status
• familiarise themselves with a variety of support services and resources available in the community.
