Mental health week
Mental health week (8-15 October) is celebrated all around Australia, with states and territories adopting their own themes to raise awareness about individual and community mental health and wellbeing.
Given that mental health conditions affect a broad spectrum of Australians at any given time, supervisors and students should consider the likelihood that they may see clients who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition or be working alongside a person with a mental health condition as part of their multidisciplinary team.
In the Practice Context: Mental health section of the ClinEdAus website, users can:
- Understand the benefits of hosting student placements in mental health care settings
- Explore the factors to consider when offering a student placement in a mental health care setting
- Access student supervision and placement guides designed for this practice context
- Prepare students for their placement in a mental health care setting by sharing the resources linked from the ClinEdAus website.
