Unit Outline: COUN2051 - Mental Health Policy and Practice 1 Last updated: Trimester 2 2019 Unit Outline COUN2051: Mental Health Policy and Practice Unit description Knowledge in the area of mental health is essential to counselling practice within any modality. In this unit students will gain an understanding of the mental health system in Australia and the reforms that have contributed to the current mental health policy and service landscape. Students will become familiar with classification systems such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5 (DSM-5) and learn how to access information as required on particular mental health disorders. This unit will provide learning on the psychologically focused strategies that have been identified as effective for a range of mental health disorders. Through theoretical and practical learning students will critically evaluate national mental health policies, service delivery, prevention and early intervention programs. Self-awareness is a key aspect of learning in the field of mental health. Stigma and discrimination have been associated with mental illness therefore students will be invited to reflect on their own attitudes and beliefs related to mental health. Students will engage with mental health services to gain insight into consumer perspectives on experiences of mental illness and on treatment options. The emphasis of this unit is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to identify a client with a mental health problem, engage in minor assessment tasks and make appropriate referrals.

Studying for this unit The content of this unit has been designed to maximise the learning and the integration of the subject matter. Much of the unit material is specific to the Australian context. Students are encouraged to access additional information relevant to their local context, which will assist in applying the learning and ensuring its relevance. This may include specific legislation, government and professional association resources, and journals. It is important that students’ reading is broad. In general students are expected to: read each section of the unit carefully and make notes about new content, and points that are unclear, or in conflict with previous learning or experience complete readings of the text and other readings and resources, making notes on important insights or facts, especially those relevant to assignments Unit Outline: COUN2051 - Mental Health Policy and Practice 3 Last updated: Trimester 2 2019 There may be periodic suggestions or issues on which students are asked to deliberate and reflect.

Try to recall the answers to these questions unaided. Write down answers from memory before going back to review the relevant material in the section. Some of the questions require more than simple recall. Some will require synthesising separate issues or different pieces of information. Real learning is not just remembering the reading. It involves owning this knowledge by: • reflecting • questioning • relating theory to personal experiences • integrating a number of readings on a particular topic or concept • paraphrasing. Assignments The assignments for this unit are carefully set so they develop from and support the key concepts and skills of the unit, and are aligned with the learning outcomes for this unit.
