Students learn advanced and innovatory practice skills, how to conduct their own supervised research, and how to present their findings. They are taught how to critically appraise research studies to inform evidence-based practice and develop a clearer understanding of the changing mental health scene.
Through one weekly small group seminar, students learn about psychosocial influences on mental health, responses of society to mental ill health and about legislation affecting both children and adults with mental health problems. Students are encouraged to reflect on both their current and future social work practice and learn about cultural, racial, gender and class differences in relation to mental health, as well as advances in anti-discriminatory ways of working.
Practice consultation sessions run by an experienced psychotherapist throughout the first year of the programme are an invaluable aid to students' work in their agencies, and enhance their supervision skills.
