An Introduction to Mental Health
Thursday 9 October

"An Introduction to Mental Health" provides students with an overview of the main categories of mental illness including:

• common symptoms
• treatment options
• what causes mental illness?
• how can we help each other?

This free session will help students to recognise symptoms of mental illness in themselves, their families and their peers; understand which category of mental illness they are observing; and suggest strategies that will help the person to either seek professional help, or adopt self-help behaviours.

1pm-4pm, Alan Gilbert Building

There are strictly limited places available for this session, so early booking is essential.

To book a place, please contact Bryan Jeffrey, Mental Health Training Coordinator, University of Melbourne.
