Supporting people with mental health difficulties involves clinical skill, structured communication, and the confidence to apply evidence-based approaches in real-world settings.  

This 12-week, Level 9 micro-credential is designed for nurses and healthcare professionals who want to build their ability to assess and support individuals using psychosocial interventions. 

Students will develop and advance their skills in applying frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), family intervention skills, and motivational approaches.  

They will also explore clinical problem-solving and use critical reflection to develop creative, collaborative responses to complex social and mental health needs.  

This module will support students to become confident, reflective practitioners, able to deliver recovery-focused, person-centred care.  

This module is associated with the Nursing - MSc, Nursing (Psychosocial Interventions in Mental Health Care) - MSc. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
