The fundamentals of mental health and wellbeing will be introduced, and your professional learning will be placed in a personal and social context through the Expansive Learning module.
During the second year, you will begin to develop your mental health assessment and treatment skills. You will have the opportunity to apply interventions such as psychosocial and medication management skills in real-world settings.
