Mental Health refers to a person’s emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. Mental Health workers provide vital support to people in the community who are struggling with mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. As well as delivering specialised individual services and intervention strategies, mental health workers also promote community-wide strategies and programs to raise awareness about the importance of mental health.
Mental Health courses equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue careers in a range of areas, particularly in the community support sector. As a Mental Health student, you’ll learn how to build relationships with clients and provide them with the support they need to manage mental illness and psychiatric disability.
