Project Plan: CAMHS Training Resource
>> Project Concept / Aim:
By increasing the quantity, quality and affordability of child and adolescent mental health training it is intended that the number of people choosing to work in CAMH/AOD will increase. E-learning media facilitate access and a positive mental health learning experience which has been shown to influence career choice.
In 2010 the Undergraduate Teaching Resource developed in Contract One was developed into an e-learning resource and study guides for students and their supervisors were developed.
Following successful uptake of this resource further modules derived from other Werry Centre projects (e.g. Real Skills Plus, Youth Consumer Guidelines, SACSBI, CBT for children and adolescents and core youth forensic knowledge and skills, and core infant mental health knowledge and skills) could be developed in partnership with a specialist provider.
Ongoing monitoring is provided for the e-learning resource to address technical and learning issues that may arise for students.
>> Objectives:
- To increase the accessibility and quality of child and adolescent mental health training.
- To increase the number of qualified workers taking up child and adolescent mental health and addictions work.
- To promote CAMH/AOD specialism as an attractive, well supported option for those considering mental health career choices.
>> Outputs:
- Web based training module: Introduction to Child and Adolescent Mental Health is promoted and available through the Werry Centre website.
- Ongoing monitoring of e-learning course.
- Development of new modules.
- Review of current content and appropriateness of new medium.
- Promotion to employers and students across a wide range of allied health professions.
- Report on uptake of the e-learning resource.
>> Evaluation:
A review of the content of the e-learning resource will be undertaken. Statistics on demographics of subscribers, site and page views, and general utility of the site will be reviewed and reported on, including recommendations for further modules.
