CMH5101 Minimising the Risk of Suicide and Self Harm
SCHOOL OF NURSING AND MIDWIFERY
Credit Points: 20
 
Description:
Increasingly mental health practitioners are expected to play a role in reducing the morbidity and mortality from suicidal behaviour. These additional roles are not confined to direct clinical interventions. Rather, they extend to the primary prevention of suicidal behaviour.

The purpose of this unit is to provide the practical and theoretical framework by which students can more confidently meet the challenges posed by self-harming clients. The unit is designed to be either a stand alone unit or as an elective in postgraduate courses.
