心理健康是所有专业人员都会在其工作生活中遇到的一个实践领域，并且可能需要在他们自己的专业实践领域中开发高质量的干预措施。心理健康会影响所有年龄和文化，因此需要熟练和知识渊博的干预措施以促进康复。据世界卫生组织称，精神健康不佳是造成DALY（残疾调整生命年）或因疾病而丧失多年的主要原因。多年来，健康科学学院在护理和社会工作领域教授心理健康实践，并且最近将其扩展到更专业的领域，例如痴呆症护理和儿童及青少年心理健康护理。我们拥有自己的心理健康与社会跨专业中心，重点关注当前本地和全球研究主题。
Mental health is an area of practice that all professionals will come across in their working lives and may be required to develop quality interventions in their own areas of professional practice. Mental health affects all ages and cultures and requires skilful and knowledgeable interventions to foster recovery. Poor mental health is a leading cause of DALYs (Disability Adjusted Life Years) or years lost to illness, according to the World Health Organisation. Mental health practice has been taught within Nursing and Social Work at the School of Health Sciences for many years and has expanded more recently into more specialised areas such as Dementia Care and Children and Adolescent's Mental Health care. We have our own inter-professional Centre for Mental Health and Society that focuses upon current local and global research topics.
