Prior study is not a prerequisite – you just need a passion for the subject matter!
The materials follow a logical structure, beginning with defining the emotive term “Mental Health” and exploring the possibilities of working in the sector, including what jobs are available, what specialisation is possible or desirable, and what the new student or learner can expect.
We explore the symptoms and treatment of the various conditions and disorders coming under the definition of MH, including Depression, Eating Disorders, Personality Disorders, Schizophrenia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Phobia and Psychosis. Suicide and self-harm is also tackled in some depth, and a range of practical skills in building and helping relationships and communication are presented in the final module.
A reasonable level of literacy is required, but there are no entry restrictions.
You just need a keen interest in the subject, and will ideally have studied the subject or ancillary disciplines at a lower level if you want to progress quickly.
