Diabetes, mental health and wellbeing are closely linked. For example, people with diabetes are twice as likely to have depression than individuals without diabetes, with many more affected by diabetes-related distress. This, in turn, affects how well people can take care of themselves and their diabetes.
Person-centred conversations about mental health and wellbeing can help people with diabetes feel heard and understood. Even short conversations can help people find helpful ways forward and improve their diabetes management.
This practical 3-hour online workshop is for you if a) your role includes talking with people with diabetes about their health and b) you would like to practise your skills in talking about mental health and wellbeing.
The workshop is designed and run by practicing Derbyshire psychologists with experience of diabetes and mental health. Using principles from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy you will build your confidence to support people with diabetes, focussing on:
• Skills to open-up brief conversations about mental health and wellbeing
• Skills to have helpful, health promoting conversations about mental health
• Skills to wrap up mental health conversations, including signposting
