The Graduate Certificate in Community Mental Health begins with an examination of the ethical basis for intervention in the lives of the mentally ill and mentally disordered. The Australian mental health legislative framework is studied in conjunction with subjects that consider mental health policy and practice. Specifically, the mental health subjects cover such things as ways of identifying and defining mental illness, prevention and therapeutic intervention and community mental health programs.
