"Participants will have the opportunity to review their personal beliefs in regards to their skills and abilities and how these beliefs affects the way they present themselves and live their lives. Participants will learn how to cope and understand their own disabilities with a new sense of purpose and strategies to address them, whether it is a recently acquired disability or one that they have been living with for some time"
I've been thinking about this since before signing up for the course - whenever someone says anything regarding "mental health" or "disabilities", we all have images or impressions that come into our minds that have been shaped by our experiences. When these labels can be personally attached, there are even more references.
Since I have been tagged with varying levels of "Nonverbal Learning Disorder", "ADD", "ADHD", "Strange", "Depressed", "Gifted", "OCD", "Funny", "Different"... and who knows what else... I have sought information on psychology and workplace practices for years.
I'm hoping that this will be an interesting seminar and I will be able to share some tidbits in Part 2
