i think you should start with the concept of health rather than mental illness. gardening and baking are great activities that clients can enjoy and are meaningful and life long learning skills.empowerment is key and getting clients involved in doing activities rather than talking can give them a sense of belonging and purpose! :)

im only in my 1st year of nursing. i find EBP has it's place in nursing but accessing the info while on the wards is virtually impossible. i also find it useful for other modules such as sociology as you can relate EBP to the conformity or unionship between nurses on our wards. this in turn creates concepts for change and there is a lot of change happening lately in the psychiatric services.........
