This course is suitable for community workers, and people in the workplace and community who may be involved in crisis intervention.
In any one year, it is estimated that 1 in 5 Australian adults experience a mental health condition. Despite considerable evidence that many mental health conditions are preventable, too many people in our community experience mental health conditions that affect their wellbeing and ability to participate fully in everyday life. At some point in their life, approximately 50% of Australians will experience a diagnosable mental illness
