The aim of this unit is to introduce historical and contemporary psychological principles and approaches regarding health and wellbeing. Using evidence-based approaches to promote the application of academic integrity and ethical standards to study, research, and future practice, you will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute positively to the advancement of the health and wellbeing of individuals, groups, and communities. You will develop essential reflective practice and communication skills that can be applied to diverse contexts to maintain their personal and professional resilience when responding to challenges and opportunities during uncertain times.

Psychological Health and Wellbeing

This subject was previously known as SOCX322 Human Services: Organisations, Structures and Policy.This subject explores the concept of care and its application in a range of different human service fields including mental health, childcare, child protection, disability services and aged care. We explore the links between informal supports, typically, although not exclusively, provided by women within families and households; and formal supports as provided by professional, trained and untrained staff, through organisations and other, often newly emergent, systems of support. Drawing together the fields of social theory and applied research, this unit provides an opportunity to examine responses to changing concepts of human need for interpersonal support. You will be able to learn from policy makers and practitioners working in this field, and analyse current research on care and human services in Australia and other comparable countries.

Uncover ways in which concepts of care can morph as society changes. Identify social attitudes to mental health, childcare, disability services and aged care. Support your studies with information from policy makers and health practitioners.
