One in five Australians will experience a mental health condition in any given year. And yet most people have only a vague understanding of what mental health actually means, what affects it, and what to do when it starts to decline. This course changes that. Across 3 modules, you will learn what mental health is and is not, the spectrum from wellbeing to mental illness, the most common conditions affecting young Australians, and where and how to access support — for yourself or someone you are worried about.
