In such unprecedented times, and with mental health support very much in the foreground, VDC has a new and innovative, in-person workshop on Mental Health Training that we don\u2019t want you to miss. You can find out more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To be held at the VET Development Centre<\/a> on 6 May 2022, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm, Nadine Hantke is bringing us an interactive experience, with role plays and actor-based simulations. And a professional actor will be in attendance for part of the workshop<\/strong>. During this workshop, participants will learn the ins and outs of mental health training simulations \u2013 with a focus on the sensitivities and precautions involved.<\/p>\n

Understanding the theory of mental health is one thing but knowing how to help those experiencing a mental health crisis is a totally different ballpark. How do we know what to do if we can\u2019t get experience, you may ask? By implementing role play and acting \u2013 we can bring mental health teaching to life. But like any conversation around mental health, this topic can be sensitive.<\/p>\n

Participating in this program gives a deeper understanding of actor-based processes. It also will teach the suitability for simulations \u2013 in-person or online \u2013 and when it\u2019s best to use them, as well as the risks and benefits of simulations. There\u2019s a chance to improve your knowledge and skills in script writing too, and the experience of a live simulation during the workshop cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n

Participants can expect to gain a good understanding and hands-on experience in what actor-based simulations and role plays are \u2013 as well as when to best utilize them, how to best prepare for and implement them, and the important considerations to be made in these situations.<\/p>\n

Are you a VET teacher or trainer? Is your organisation interested in, or are in the planning, implementing or evaluating phase of mainly actor-based simulations? Then this workshop could be right up your alley.<\/p>\n

Readers can register here to attend<\/a>.<\/p>\n
