Having an understanding of our patterns of behaviour can help us to act in a more caring and useful way. Formulation collects information to help make sense of experiences in a very personal way.
This course gives a summary of formulation approaches used in mental health treatment. It is aimed at those living with mental health difficulties. And also those who live with or look after them, members of the public and staff.
This course will take about 2 to 3 hours to do. The timing will depend on how fast you read and how long you spend on the questions. You do not need to finish the whole course in one go. If you leave and come back to the course it will remember where you got up to.
