Mental Health Training Program
Introduction
In conjunction with the implementation of the Melbourne Model, two mental health training coordinators have been employed for twelve months by the University of Melbourne to run a series of tailored training packages for staff through 2008.
This will complement mental health awareness training for staff that has been jointly delivered in recent years by the Disability Liaison Unit and the Counselling Service.
The training project is overseen by the University’s Mental Health Strategy Working Group, and auspiced by the Counselling Service. It aims to meet professional development needs of staff involved across a broad range of areas of the university, including academic staff, professional staff in faculties, senior personnel, security, and staff in student administration and services areas.
This training is FREE for all University staff
The various sessions on offer are designed to equip staff in different roles to recognise, respond to and support students and staff with mental health issues.
