关于课程
This undergraduate certificate introduces Indigenous mental health with a focus on improving the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. Over six months you’ll explore contributing factors to mental health, holistic approaches to care, common disorders such as depression, bipolar and anxiety, and the impacts of trans-generational trauma. You’ll also study human development and the effects of adverse childhood experiences, with an elective in health systems or Indigenous public health.
你可能学到什么
You’ll develop the ability to apply Indigenous mental health principles in varied contexts, use critical and creative problem solving, and communicate appropriately using technology with patients, carers and health professionals. The course also builds understanding of global perspectives and standards, encourages respect for Indigenous values, cultures and knowledges, and develops professional teamwork, independent practice and lifelong learning skills for paraprofessional or further study pathways.
职业成果
Graduates gain foundational knowledge to support work in mental health settings involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. The course can support entry-level paraprofessional roles assisting community health and wellbeing programs, mental health promotion initiatives, and culturally safe support services in public, community and Indigenous-led organisations. It also provides a pathway with credit toward further undergraduate study in Indigenous professional practice and mental health-related health careers.
