Why study the Graduate Certificate in Mental Health?
This program provides health professionals with a knowledge base relevant to the provision of mental health services in their practice environments. Learning activities consist of a systematic reading program, weekly tutorials and intensive workshops. Students may participate in tutorials via telephone or video conference, but must attend 2 blocks (5 days and 3 days) of workshops on campus each semester.
As this program does not satisfy student visa requirements, prospective international students should consider the Master of Mental Health.
