Unit description
Organisations are increasingly becoming involved in the mental health and wellbeing of employees. It is likely that this is a consequence of two central factors: (1) community pressure for organisations to take greater responsibility for employee mental health (as is the case for physical health), and (2) ensuring performance in a competitive commercial climate. Thus, organisational psychologist may find the requirement to blend their knowledge of organisational behaviour with knowledge of mental health as it relates to the workplace. This unit aims to provide masters students in organisational psychology with a basic understanding of counselling techniques, suicide-risk assessment, common psychopathology and intervention strategies and their relevance to practice within organisations.

This unit involves three lectures, two research highlight clips, and three full-day workshops. A minimal amount of content will be delivered in lecture form. Students will mostly be encouraged to participate in a variety of activities that will allow them to practice skills and receive immediate personalised feedback.
Students are expected to do the mandatory background reading before the classes, and be able to provide a short verbal summary of readings and respond to questions relating to those readings. There will often be concept-or skill-development activities performed in class, usually in groups, but students will also be assigned activities to perform between classes.
In addition to reading set papers, you are encouraged to consult textbooks and read other journal articles. This will be valuable for developing knowledge, and essential for completing assessment tasks.
