This module is for registered practitioners working in a variety of settings with clients who have mental health needs. Participants will be required to find a practice supervisor with expertise in this area.

This is a core component of the BSc Professional Practice Mental Health Endorsement.

The module prepares participants to apply principles of assessment, focusing on the sound use of assessment skills and formulation. Assessment and formulation skills are gained by using a range of protocols and outcome measures, such as the mental state examination.
