This subject allows health professionals to examine and develop their interpersonal communication skills with people who may be experiencing difficult situations and mental and physical health challenges. The health professional will be able to identify and use both non-verbal and verbal communication skills to engage in discussions with people, patients, their families and friends, in an appropriate way for culturally and linguistically diverse and Indigenous peoples. The introduction of interactive dialogue techniques will provide a broad understanding of communication and negotiation strategies in challenging and high risk scenarios. Communication techniques will also be explored in relation to different modes such as face to face, online, electronic, virtual and telephone. The building of effective communication skills will promote self-awareness, resilience and self-care of the health professional.
