In this course, you will build practical skills in motivational interviewing, explore evidence-based therapies, and learn to deliver trauma-informed, recovery-oriented, and human rights-based care. You will gain the confidence to work effectively with people, families, and carers from diverse backgrounds, and critically evaluate interventions across a range of mental health settings. You will appraise the theoretical foundations and evidence base of psychotherapeutic approaches, apply motivational interviewing techniques with a focus on ethics and cultural diversity, and integrate a range of therapies to address global mental health priorities.

Through interactive workshops, simulated practice, and reflective activities, you will examine the role and core capabilities of mental health nurses, including ethical decision-making, professional boundaries, and supervision, preparing you for advanced, person-centred practice.
