Mental health professionals must possess a deep understanding of the cognitive and emotional processes involved in meaning-making, especially for individuals managing chronic illness. Given the complexities of chronic health conditions, clients often experience significant challenges in adapting psychologically and reshaping their self-identity. This training equips mental health professionals with the knowledge to analyze how personal narratives are constructed and how meaning-making influences psychological well-being. The course will explore the interplay between narrative construction, social support, and cultural factors in shaping an individual’s emotional resilience and adjustment. By examining both positive and negative meaning-making, the course will enable professionals to develop strategies that support healthier psychological adaptation in their clients, fostering better mental health outcomes in chronic illness management.
