There is growing appreciation that mental health and wellbeing should be understood within a broader social context, rather than a narrow focus on psychiatric illness anddisorder dominated by the biomedical paradigm. This understanding is guided by the underlyingprinciple that mental health is an integral part of overall health and is relevant to all. This unit of studywill orientate students toward a public health perspective, which proposes that mental health andwellbeing are influenced by multiple biological, psychological, social and environmental factors.Students will examine health promotion and population health research and will analyse theeffectiveness of strategies designed to reduce health inequalities. They will critically explore ways towork in an empowering, collaborative and participatory manner with people experiencing mental healthor social problems as well as those identified as having a mental illness or 'disorder'.
