training is essential in healthcare to keep patients safe and to avoid staff injuries in some tasks required in hospital like assisting patients to move.
training tends to eradicate bad behaviour that sets in over time in healthcare provision. -

my culture says no to any form of enhancement to handle life challenges as life challenges do not stop and you do not know what is going to happen tomorrow.
you should always do your best and avoid taking any enhancement thinking the challenges you are facing will go away once taken. -

i believe addiction has to do with individual been affected by life challenges and not able to handle it.
this leads them to doing things believing it will help them get rid of the challenges which does not happen permanently -

i believe live experiences are a major cause of mental health depending on the life challenges the individual has been through and how much support is available to them when this challenges occur will determine the effect on their mental health.

Kunle olaifa made a comment
my view is both biological make up of an individual and life experiences affect the mental health of each person differently.
The support an individual gets and their biological make up may account for their reaction to life changing experience. -

knowledge on dementia,family support and speaking to someone.

I tend to approach my residents with a happy mood to catch their attention before introducing why i am with them.
this works sometimes and if it does not,I sit down to their level to gain attention sometimes i sit on the carpet so they can see me while speaking to them.
There is no fixed method that works,I just try different ones. -
