Course Overview

Promoting social inclusion and recovery lies at the heart of current mental health services and care. You will engage with contemporary theory, research, and policy and will critically review service developments and synthesise information and ideas from a review of service.

This module is ideal for health care professionals, particularly those working in mental health settings (inpatient wards, community). It has been developed to assist mental health practitioners to enhance their skills in social inclusion practice, promoting recovery through effective care planning and management of patient care needs for individuals under mental health services.
