<p>This subject provides the opportunity for students to explore a diverse range of interventions supporting mental health, including promotion and prevention, early intervention, acute care, recovery and continuing care in the context of regional, rural and remote communities. Students will extend their knowledge and capabilities in responding to the mental health needs of individuals, communities and the wider population. Key principles of person-centred, trauma-informed and recovery-focused care will underpin the approach to practice development. Students will develop their understanding of systems issues including the application of the stepped-care model of service delivery in primary health settings; the Social and Emotional Wellbeing model of care for First Nations peoples; and factors that enable meaningful stake-holder engagement. Students will also analyse technological advances in healthcare and develop their capacity to utilise these to address the challenges arising in the delivery of effective care for people in rural and remote communities.</p>
