Why did you decide to study the Master of Youth Mental Health?
I have had some initial exposure from my medical degree and research about youth mental health, but I definitely feel that it has been an area that is overlooked. Youth mental health is an incredible new field that has a huge emphasis on early intervention and prevention, as well as positive psychology that not only focuses on symptom reduction but building on a young person’s strengths and abilities. It is a modern way of approaching a patient, and not only can we use this to help the many young adults in need of help, but it helps the practitioners develop invaluable skills that can be applied to any future patients.
What do you like most about the course?
I really appreciate that the course is online and tailored to working professionals who can only commit part-time. Even though the course is online, the coordinators are amazing and put in a lot of effort to make the subjects feel interactive.
What have been the highlights of your time studying?
It has been a wonderful experience interacting with many different health professionals from varying fields. We have everybody from occupational therapists, psychologists, teachers, doctors, nurses, social workers and speech pathologists, to say the least. We all come from very different perspectives but have come together to share a common interest and learn as much as we can!
