Salud mental y atención psicosocial from Coursera

El curso “Fortalecimiento de los equipos psicosociales y comunidad en general para el cuidado de la salud mental” tiene como propósito acercar el conocimiento sobre la salud mental y su abordaje desde la perspectiva de la comunidad y no solo desde el Talento Humano de Salud. Abordaremos las nociones de Salud Mental, problemas y trastornos mentales, estigma, determinantes sociales, principios del abordaje comunitario y algunas herramientas para la atención a problemas de salud mental incluida una introducción al manejo de las sustancias psicoactivas y la epilepsia.

Este curso no pretende sustituir la atención especializada, pero sí ofrecer unas herramientas básicas que empoderen a las comunidades en la identificación y abordaje inicial de eventos en salud mental. ¿Por qué cualquier miembro de la comunidad debería tomar este curso? En algún momento de nuestras vidas, todos hemos tenido que atender diferentes situaciones que se encuentran relacionadas con la salud mental y suele ser un tema que preocupa, que genera prejuicios y que afecta el adecuado funcionamiento individual y social. Por esto, recibir información y entrenamiento ayudará a afrontar mejor estas situaciones y a incorporarlas en la dinámica propia de los entornos comunitarios, sintiéndonos todos responsables y aportantes en el acompañamiento de estas personas y sus familias.
