Masters (Coursework)
The Master of Youth Mental Health is an industry-leading course offering access to expert knowledge and the latest theory, research and evidence-based approaches in this specialised and rapidly-evolving area of mental health.
Developed in close consultation with Orygen - a global leader of research in the field - this is the only graduate program in Australia dedicated entirely to youth mental health.
You will gain a comprehensive understanding of development in young people, and discuss the impacts of psychotic, non-psychotic, behavioural and mood disorders, and learn best-practice engagement, assessment and intervention approaches and enhance your existing abilities when working with young people in a therapeutic or clinical context. In your final year, you will have the opportunity to complete a substantial research project under the guidance of a supervisor.
Delivered entirely online, the Master of Youth Mental Health is designed to be taken part-time over three years, providing the flexibility and support needed for busy professionals to fit study around existing work commitments.
This course is suitable for health professionals working across a range of community and clinical settings. Whether you are a psychiatrist, general practitioner, psychologist, nurse, occupational therapist, social worker or youth worker, this course will help you gain a deep understanding of the latest developments and evidence-based approaches in youth mental health.
