This course provides education and training that meets the requirements of the Department of Health (2015) curriculum for psychological well-being practitioners by:

• providing you with a substantial knowledge base appropriate to master's level study
• facilitating the acquisition of core therapeutic and technical skills that underpin low intensity psychological interventions
• enabling you to develop a positive attitude and commitment towards lifelong learning and personal and development planning
• ensuring you are prepared to meet the challenges of current and future contemporary mental health services.
