Description

The focus of the course is on mental health and wellbeing and the impact of mental ill health on individuals and families/whanau and communities. The course considers the social-ecological context of mental disorders and consequently considers issues around culture, gender, environment, policy and service provision. Students are supported to achieve an understanding of how theory applies to practice via independent learning, scaffolded assessment, online multimedia materials and zoom tutorials. Insights from practitioners with expertise in various areas of mental health will be threaded through the course. The course is designed to build on prior knowledge within the social work programme.
