This course strengthens students' knowledge and understanding of human development and behaviour, and extends students' ability to work with people with mental illness and disorders. Studies in life-span development and contemporary theories of human biological, psychological and social development, behaviour, and adaptation are designed to enable students to more effectively utilise evidence-based interventions such as basic cognitive behaviour therapy. Students will examine therapeutic options applicable for use by health care professionals in health care settings. These options will include a range of e-therapies available for high-prevalence disorders such as anxiety and depression. Tutorials focus on exploring therapeutic options and strengthening students' capacity for self-reflection and therapeutic engagement.
