MHP106 Mental Health Across the Life Span 2 (8)
Prerequisite: MHP103
Enrolment Restriction: Available only to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
This subject builds on MHP103 (developmental stages from conception through to adolescence), and will examine the physical and mental health developmental stages from early adulthood to late adulthood. It will provide the student with an understanding of the dynamics between personality development, human behaviour and development. The complexities of transition through the ages including economics, health, lifestyle relationships, loss and grief, will be examined. Most importantly the student will learn that individuals do not age at the same rate and that gender roles in particular for traditional Australians are different. This subject provides insight that ageing is a lifelong process.
