Understanding psychosocial and cognitive conditions is a key component to the provision of activity services in care communities. Building a strong foundation utilizing a holistic approach to care creates safe environments, personalizes activity planning, improves communication, enhances program effectiveness, and serves a diverse population of clients. This course provides a framework for activity professionals with minimal to no knowledge of mental health and other cognitive factors that impact well-being. Topics covered include common mental diagnoses, the impact of sensory and expressive approaches, and creating mental-health supportive activity environments.
