Subject outline
In this subject, students develop an understanding of the complex contexts that surround mental health and wellbeing issues for children and adolescents in schools. An approach based on risk and resilience is explored. Case studies relating to mental health challenges for individuals are investigated. Focus areas include but are not limited to trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, conduct disorders and obsessive and compulsive disorders. Focus areas are used to advance understanding of students' thoughts, beliefs, feelings about complex contexts that arise in their life experiences, and their presenting behaviours. Whole school and individualised approaches to prevention and well-being are analysed.
