If you are looking to upskill and stay up-to-date with educational best practice, La Trobe's Graduate Certificate in Mental Health Education is the perfect opportunity to extend credentials and advance your understanding of the key learning principles.
Through four core subjects, you'll develop your skills in Mental Health, Trauma and Well-being.
This flexible course is designed for people who are working. If you choose to study part-time, you can also pace your learning over one to two years.
If you'd also like the option to further extend your skills, the Graduate Certificate in Mental Health Education can also provide a fully credited pathway to the Graduate Diploma in Education and the Master of Education.
You'll learn how to :
- Recognise and support the mental health and wellbeing needs of students
- Create culturally safe learning environments, acknowledging the relationship between culture and wellbeing.
- Design and implement whole school and person-centred responses to wellbeing needs and evidence-based practices.
- Apply universal approaches to wellbeing and gain an understanding of mental health systems and community support resources available to schools and individuals.
Students will need to have satisfactory computer skills in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and online meeting programs such as Zoom. These platforms will be used throughout the course and in assessment tasks.
