The Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Training equips professionals with the advanced competencies required to apply mental health and psychosocial support effectively, strengthen day-to-day performance, and generate the evidence needed for confident, well-informed decisions. With rising scrutiny of performance and value for money, institutions need practitioners who can work to recognized standards and defend their decisions with evidence.
