Overview
This unit brings together the skills and knowledge built over the Master of Applied Mental Health and requires you to apply them to a mental health and wellbeing issue in an industry context. You will explore a real-world issue in collaboration with an industry partner. You will scope the issue, taking a holistic perspective, and consider potential impacts on mental health and wellbeing. You will then propose a solution and develop a project plan that sets out how this could be implemented.
