What it covers
In this unit, we explore the unique mental health needs of diverse and marginalised groups, including LGBTIQA+ individuals, refugees, migrants, the ageing population, and women. You will also learn about the significance of a range of ethical issues that need to be considered in providing mental health support to diverse populations. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills development, you will learn how to adapt mental health interventions to address the specific needs of these populations and advocate for equitable access to mental healthcare in both professional and societal settings.
