Although society's attitude toward mental illness has improved, discrimination and misconceptions surrounding those affected are still prevalent. This free course, Mental health practice: Bonnyrigg, explores a number of issues relating to mental health practice, including the difference between mental health and mental illness, and the discrimination that can arise when people experience some form of mental distress.

After studying this course, you should be able to:

• distinguish between mental health and mental illness
• give examples of how community resource centres can benefit the well being of individuals and communities in terms of mental health.
