About this qualification

Here is what the Undergraduate Certificate of Mental Health qualification offered by Torrens University Australia covers and who it is designed for.

The Undergraduate Certificate of Mental Health is a short, practical course that builds a strong foundation in mental health, wellbeing and contemporary psychological science. It's ideal for people working in allied health, community services or first responder roles who want to upskill and for anyone curious about exploring psychology.

Across four core subjects, you'll examine human behaviour and development, and learn evidence-based approaches to common mental health challenges. You'll also develop knowledge you can apply straight away in your workplace or community. When you're ready for the next step, the subjects you complete count as credit towards the Bachelor of Psychological Science - giving you a head start on your degree.

Learning outcomes

  • Explain key psychological and biological concepts that underpin human development, behaviour, cognition and wellbeing
  • Outline evidence-based approaches to common mental health challenges and how they can be applied in professional or community contexts
  • Use basic psychological principles and tools to support wellbeing, resilience and positive behaviour change
  • Communicate effectively in ways that respect cultural and social diversity in mental health settings
  • Recognise the role of evidence-based decision-making in mental health practice
