I aim to define the role of my chosen individual (MHW), examine the communication styles I used and the reasons for using this style of communication. I will also explore alternative styles of communication that could possibly achieve a different outcome.

I will explore the theory behind communication behaviour (verbal and non verbal) and how the mental health workers behaviour impacted on the whole scenario. I shall look back on what I have learnt from the role-play in terms of communication styles, and how self-awareness and being conscious of how my actions could impact in similar situations, can impact upon effective communication and building inclusive relationships.
