mental health in aged residential care

Are you ready to make a real impact in the lives of older adults living in residential aged care facilities? Now is your chance to join a transformative course designed to elevate your professional practice and respond to the evolving needs of our aging population.

HETI Higher Education's Mental Health Care in Residential Aged Care unit offers a comprehensive overview of mental health in older people. Through a lens of recovery-focused, strengths-based, and person-centered care, participants will gain invaluable insights into enhancing care delivery within aged care settings.

This unit is tailored for Registered Nurses (RNs), Enrolled Nurses (EENs), Allied Health professionals, General Practitioners (GPs), Peer Workers, and individuals in governance roles within Residential Aged Care.

Why Enrol?

  • Stay Informed: Keep abreast of the latest developments in mental health care for older adults
  • Enhance Practice: Acquire practical skills to implement recovery-focused approaches in your daily care routines
  • Address Recommendations: Respond effectively to recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care
  • Personal & Professional Growth: Join a community of health professionals in NSW who are rewriting the story of aged care
  • Make a Difference: Witness firsthand the positive impact of your newfound knowledge and skills on patient care.

After 20 years of working with people in aged care, I've learned that a caring professional can do a lot more when they know how to ask the right questions, find relevant information, and use that to guide actions with residents. This unit can boost your ability to be that professional." Course Contributor 2024
