This workshop is the second part of the Sensory Engagement for Mental Wellbeing course. It  presents a list of practical strategies that you can use immediately to promote mental wellbeing for people with profound disabilities. 
The list of strategies is presented as a starting point for reflective practice and for the development of further strategies, not as a complete toolkit. Each strategy will  act as a spring board for your thought processes and can be used to evaluate your practice across the board.
Part 1 of this course looked at the research into the mental health of people with profound disabilities and explored the reasons for the vulnerability of this population to mental ill health. Those of you who have studied part 1 will have a deeper understanding of the significance of the strategies proposed within this part of the course. 
Part 3 of this course contains further material to stimulate reflective practice and help you develop personalised methods of supporting wellbeing for people with profound disabilities.
