Mental Health Recovery Project: Analysis and Recommendations 5N3773

This project, designed for the Recovery in Mental Health 5N3773 module, requires a comprehensive exploration of mental health recovery within the Irish context. The first part of the project (40%) necessitates an analysis of three different types of mental illness, including their prevalence in Ireland compared to worldwide figures, associated characteristics, and impact on client care needs. It further involves identifying and evaluating three Irish support services for mental health recovery, detailing their roles and the key professionals involved. The second part (60%) requires the planning and organization of an activity that reinforces positive mental health, demonstrating strategies for service user involvement and promoting communication skills within a healthcare team, addressing specific needs and choices, and understanding policies and procedures. The assignment culminates in a reflection on areas of competence and areas for improvement in promoting positive mental health.
