There is a growing need to upskill Australia's primary care workforce with youth-specific skills and expertise for working with young people experiencing mental ill-health.

 

Designed and delivered in collaboration with leading experts in the field, and young people with lived experience, this micro-credential is for qualified or trainee general practitioners, paediatricians and qualified nurses who are seeking best-practice biopsychosocial approaches when supporting young people accessing primary care for their mental health.

 

Assessing and Enhancing Youth Mental Health in Primary Care counts for 42.5 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD). If you are a GP, you will be eligible to claim RACGP CPD hours for completing this activity.
