This course provides an alternative approach to the range of available clinical courses that deal with mental illness and mental disorders. It is designed to give students the skills to analyse the social determinants of mental health, the significance of these on the formation of policy, and the ability to design programs that could prevent the onset of mental illness and promote mental health presenting. Discovery learning is used to direct students to the theories and practices about the social determinants of mental health, and the significance of public policy. There is a major project throughout the course, which will allow students to either design a program that could reduce the onset of mental illness in an identified community of their choice, or would promote the mental health of members of that community.
