Dual Diagnosis for Clinicians in Mental Health OS

The term "dual diagnosis" refers to a situation in which an individual has both a developmental disability and a mental health condition. A combination of biological, psychological, and social factors increases the likelihood that a person with a developmental disability may also experience mental health issues.

In this microcredential, the learner will complete a mental status assessment and SOAPE note for simulated individuals with dual diagnosis. The learner will consider appropriate communication techniques, therapies, and interventions within a mental health hospital setting, as well as reflect on stigma and self care.
