Mind maps can help people think around a topic and reflect on what they have learnt. Keywords or questions act as starting points. Mind maps are simple to create and designs are individual. They can be illustrated and coloured, allowing people to be creative in presenting their feelings and ideas.

Mind mapping questions can lead to other areas of enquiry in terms of professional behaviour. For example: labelling, stigma, prejudice and the ethical and professional issues around how we treat people using our services.
