What are skills in mental health?
A good mental health worker can communicate in a warm, calm and understanding manner, understanding how to respond to service users given their particular needs and situations. Empathy and understanding are critical in encouraging an environment of trust and support, where positive health outcomes are facilitated. Be clear and concise, stating the specifics of how your mental health problems are impacting your work. The point here is to keep it professional and appropriate—your boss is not a therapist or close friend, so you need to stick to what matter’s to the workplace. Their duties include listening to patients, developing treatment plans, and creating coping strategies. Psychological flexibility is the single most important skill for your mental health and emotional well-being. The first two pillars create a working approach to mindfulness skills.
