MHT10 - Mental illness and Antisocial Behaviour:

This training focuses on the pathology of personality disorder and delusional behaviour and aims to equip public-facing staff with a set of skills and knowledge to improve the outcome of interactions with individuals presenting challenging behaviour and /or mental health difficulties.

This training studies a number of very serious assaults by individuals with mental health difficulties in both social housing and local government settings. Whilst we aim to de-stigmatise the association of mental illness and violence, there are very important lessons to be learnt.

The key areas of training include:

  • A firm understanding of the routes and causes of antisocial personality disorder and the childhood / adolescent variants to improve communications skills, personal safety and safety management;
  • A unique and dedicated focus on the causes and triggers of violence by those with personality pathology;
  • Dynamic risk assessment practices to improve safety management through key understanding of situational and behavioural dangers;
  • An understanding of group dynamics and its relationship with pathological behaviour;
  • The psychology and problems associated with mental health difficulties in relation to paranoia, factitious disorders, borderline PD and self injurious behaviour;
  • Key defusing skills dedicated to managing those with psychopathologies;
  • Body-language training to improve safety management and interaction skills;
  • An understanding of psychosis and delusional behaviour and any inherent dangers.
