The aim of this module is to provide the student with the opportunity to develop an in-depth working knowledge of the principles and practice of a range of psychosocial interventions such as brief solution-focused interventions, facilitated self-help interventions, and cognitive behavioural therapy. The students will be equipped with the skills necessary to work innovatively with service users, carers and their families in the different health-care settings.

This module will be delivered on-line and will run over 10 weeks. Students will be provided with electronic course materials (similar to a study guide) to guide their learning and reading. Students will work through the workbook and complete units (see below) by a specified date. A facilitator will be available to students on-line, to answer queries and provide references to further reading. Students will also attend two workshop days that is focused on the application of their learning to the clinical setting.

There are four units in this module:

Unit 1: Engagement, Assessment, and Risk Assessment
Unit 2: Psycho-education and Self Help
Unit 3: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Health Workers
Unit 4: Solution-focused Brief Therapy Techniques
