Description

This module provides a comprehensive approach to human resources and training for mental health in countries. It includes guidance on the development of a human resource policy for mental health that provides a coherent framework for workforce development. It outlines a systematic method to determine the number of personnel and the mix of competencies required by a range of mental health services. The training requirements for mental health in a country are outlined and linked to the functions of services and the competencies required. Finally, approaches to curriculum development, continuing education, training and supervision are described in order to promote evidence-based practices which ultimately meet the mental heath needs of consumers and the population at large.
