Introduction
The focus of this unit is on mental health and illness across the lifespan. A consumer-orientated approach to health care is emphasised throughout this unit to assist students to appreciate concepts that shape mental health practices including chronic condition self-management, recovery, holistic care and disease prevention. Students will have the opportunity to develop knowledge about a range of mental illnesses and will develop practical communication strategies within the Mental State Examination (MSE) that are useful when providing health care in complex situations in clinical environments. Students will have the opportunity to further develop their Professional Portfolio in this unit.
