As many as one in three people are thought to suffer some form of mental health problem. However, dealing with the human mind and behaviour is not an exact science. Therapeutic relationships Mental ill health is often brought on by a crisis in life such as depression after the death of a partner. However, depression is just one of the ranges of conditions that come under the heading of mental ill health. There are also neuroses, psychoses, psychological and personality disorders. Therapeutic relationships between the mental health nurse, those with mental ill health, and their families are critical to successful mental health nursing. Helping people back to mental health is also every bit as valuable and satisfying as caring for those with a physical illness.

...Abstract The essay attempts to report the influence of private sector in the development and implementation of public policy. When governments try to associate with the private sector n order to deliver public benefits it raises several questions. The reason private sector is driven by profit it is considered to be more efficient than the public sector. But over the period of time, public private partnerships have proved not to be value delivering for the public in the end. Private sector firms and especially the big four accountancy organizations that act as financial advisors of the government tend to influence the government in their favour. This leads to the question of private interests taking over policies of the government. Introduction During their article on Public Private Partnership, Shaoul, J., A.Stafford and P.Stapleton (2007) have taken example of four big advisory firms in UK that mostly work with the government and tried to claim that these Public Private Partnerships (PPP’s) are not value delivering for public because eventually private interests take over public policy. They have argued that these firms play a critical role in the development of policy and then its application in different sectors and at the same time getting paid as external advisors and consultants. Examples have been cited to explain how “the government’s financial advisors structured deals in roads, hospitals and schools to make them attractive to the public sector in ways that served...

...FINAL (SUMMER) INTERNSHIP REPORT BY EMMANUEL EKIBA BAGENDA On secondment by the International Human Rights Program (at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law), I served as an intern with the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC) during the summer of 2006. My internship lasted from May to August and, during this time, I worked under the immediate supervision of Mrs Christine Birabwa Nsubuga (who heads the Legal and Tribunals Section of the UHRC) and Mr Remmy Beauregard (who is the UHRC’s Institutional Development Advisor). Substantive Engagements The main project on which I worked during the internship was a comparative analysis between the UHRC’s legal framework and that of other national (and provincial) human rights commissions in a range of countries, including Malawi, South Africa, Canada, and Ghana. The primary aim of all this was to highlight ways in which the UHRC’s legal framework could be buttressed in a manner that facilitated the promotion of human rights in Uganda. The working hypothesis, in other words, was that the UHRC could overcome some of the institutional and substantive challenges it faced by drawing upon the normative frameworks of its correspondent institutions in other jurisdictions. Background work on this particular project had been done by the University of Toronto Working Group on Uganda, and had yielded an initial framework of responses to be refined by concrete experiences acquired during the internship. In refining the initial report...

...A new year presents a golden opportunity to take stock and set out plans for great success in the year ahead. For many, achieving the results that they want as a leader or manager is an important area, not least because of the personal rewards it brings. In reality, success as a leader or manager does not happen by chance, so what are the x key questions you need to answer to achieving greater success as a leader or manager in 2010? What do you want to achieve by the end of 2010? Seems like a really easy question but in truth it is one of the most challenging to answer. When people sit down to formulate their response they often fall into the trap of coming up with vague statements that are meaningless. To overcome this, take the time to write out in some detail what you want to achieve by the end of 2010. Remember that your career does not operate in isolation from the rest of your life so think broadly. Why do you want to achieve more success in 2010? Mark Fritz the author of a number of books talks about the importance of the why being bigger than the what. In essence what he is saying is that unless the reasons for wanting to achieve something compelling are crystal clear they will never become more than aspirations. The why is what provides the drive and motivation to keep going no matter what the barriers are. For each thing that you want to achieve keep asking and answering why you want to achieve that particular goal. What detailed plans do...

...TESCO CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT Training & Development October 29, 2013 HOW TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTS BUSINESS GROWTH. 1. Explain the difference between training and development. How have changes in customer expectations affected Tesco and its need to train staff? Training is the process of instructing an employee in their new job so that she/he understands their role and responsibilities and learns to perform the tasks assigned to them so they can perform with ease and efficiency. Training makes an employee more productive for the organization and is concerned with their immediate improvement. Development is an ongoing process that continues beyond training. The focus of the development process is on the person themselves where the focus of training is on the organization. Development is concerned with the making the employee more productive for the future of the organization. Training is for short-term goals of the organization while Development is for the long-term goals of the organization. Customer expectations have changed to ‘one-stop shopping’. Tesco’s original product range of grocery and general stores have diversified to include banking, insurance services, electrical goods, and telephone equipment and airtime. This means customers can now have all their purchasing needs met in one place. Tesco’s aim to expand and diversify means they need to have right employees in the right place at the right time.
