Being able to relate to my clients and understand their feelings. Being careful to avoid mistakes that could have serious consequences. Being persistent advocate for my clients- empathethic.
I am positioned to serve any client with mental health disorder.
As a psychiatric and geriatric nurse practitioner , I have the knowledge required to educate patient with mental or medical illness. It is a form of therapy that can help patient's understand their mental health condition and learn how to manage their symptoms and medicatiions.
This type of therapy can help patient with self-respect and acceptance.
