Mental Health Interventions
OCCP5247
This unit of study will extend the students knowledge and practical intervention skills in mental health clinical practice. Intervention skills and strategies developed will be both generic and occupational therapy specific. There will be a large experiential learning component so that students will develop a practical 'how-to' confidence in the clinical application of various techniques with particular consumer populations. In line with current state and national directions, this unit will be guided by principles of wellness and recovery. A range of cognitive focused interventions, psycho-education, family interventions, early intervention, mental health promotion, relapse prevention and strategies to develop effective individual rehabilitation plans are some of the techniques and skills students will develop and practice within this unit.
