The Mindful Introductory Course (MIC)
The Mindful Introductory Course (MIC) is an introduction to core principles in assessment, formulation, diagnosis and feedback in child, adolescent, and youth mental health. It integrates the latest evidence on teaching and learning, and the expertise of experienced child, adolescent and youth mental health workers, to create an engaging, interactive, and practical online and on-demand course that teaches both theory and skills. It is a standalone online course.
The course is suitable for a range of professionals who work with children, adolescents, and young people. These may include social workers, occupational therapists, speech therapists, mental health nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists, and paediatricians, as well as those working in education, child and family services and general medicine.
The MIC takes on average around 22 hours to complete, with each module taking around 2.5 hours.
Modules include:
-
Engaging children, adolescents, young people and parents
-
Conducting a family interview
-
Conducting a child/adolescent/young person interview
-
Assessing risk
-
Conducting a parent interview
ENROLMENT AND COMPLETION:The course is self-paced and is available for a minimum of 3 months (and up to 6 months) after registering. Participants are encouraged to complete the course over 12 weeks. If participants are asked to complete the MIC as part of their normal work role, we encourage them to discuss with their manager or other appropriate person the practicalities of completion (eg time release for professional development, access to a reasonably undisturbed space to complete the course).
