Overview

Make a difference in your community's mental health.

As we respond to the challenges of a changing world, mental health is in the spotlight. Rapid changes to our social fabric have created significant challenges for individuals and their communities. All elements of our healthcare system urgently need professionals with skills and expertise to promote individual and community mental health.

This course has been carefully designed to meet that need and give you a deeper understanding of mental health theory and clinical practice. In this course, you will develop vital assessment skills and practical skills to support clients and patients with mental health concerns.

When you graduate, you'll be better equipped to plan, implement and evaluate mental health practices and work in multidisciplinary teams. You'll use an evidence-based approach to prevent, detect and manage mental illness, and create a healthier society through mental health promotion.
