Rehabilitation Case Management

Approximately one-third of all individuals reporting somatic complaints also have anxiety disorder and / or depression. Thus, many people presenting to health practitioners will also have mental health conditions. One aim of this subject is for you to be able to identify mental health conditions, and some core principles of working with people with such conditions. People presenting for assistance in rehabilitation settings also frequently present in a state of distress - for instance, persistent pain, anger, anxiety, and shame - which can have a substantial impact on how well such people progress. It&#39;s therefore important for you to have a thorough knowledge of these states, how they can impact on a person&#39;s behaviour, and core principles of working with people in such states. As well, you will be asked to apply these principles in analysing how to tailor your approach when working with people with these conditions. This subject is designed for second-year students. To maximise your chances of success in achieving the intended learning outcomes, it is recommended that you complete this subject in your second year.

Mental Health and Rehabilitation

In this subject, you will be introduced to major concepts and theories in rehabilitation and health intervention. This subject will examine procedures that are useful in rehabilitation when working in health settings. The subject will provide students with an understanding of effective case management skills which leads to proper care coordination, seamless service provider integration and cooperation, and the development and delivery of comprehensive rehabilitation services to those living with chronic conditions or permanent impairments with the aim of achieving optimal health.
