Education & training

 We have programs which are customised for:

• Psychologists
• General practitioners
• Nurses & allied health
• Working with young people
• Workplace training (on request basis)

One of the Institute's key objectives is developing customised educational programs and workshops for health care professionals.  The programs are developed by a team of professionals, including an education and training expert who works with our consultant psychiatrists and clinical psychologist. All of our programs are accredited and are designed with three factors in mind: to be informative, innovative, and interactive. 

Aim

The aim of our educational programs is to improve detection and treatment of mood disorders and to enhance understanding of the importance of psychological, social and physical issues in the comprehensive assessment and treatment of individual patients.
