Understanding how emotional, psychological and social factors affect health is central to person-centred care.  

This twelve week, Level 9, micro-credential is for nurses and midwives who want to deepen their knowledge of psychosocial care and assessment. 

You’ll explore key theories and models, including cognitive, behavioural and strengths-based approaches, and learn how they inform recovery-focused practice.  

You’ll also learn the principles behind interventions such as CBT, DBT and family work, along with the role of trauma-informed care, collaborative planning and professional boundaries. 

Whether you work in mental health, acute or community care, this module will support your development as a reflective and responsive practitioner. 

This module is associated with the 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.
