About Mental Health: Cultural And Global Perspectives In Mental Health Care Pgdip in Queen Mary University of London

This PgDip is designed to improve your understanding of the impact of socio-cultural factors on mental health, mental illness and mental health care so you can work in a research or mental health care role in a global setting or in a multicultural society.

You will explore how mental health, mental illness and treatment occur within socio-cultural contexts. You’ll examine how cultural factors such as belief systems, values, ethnicity, practices and traditions can affect an individual’s mental health risk – and their resilience. You’ll also look at how migration, race and other cultural phenomena intersect to create mental health challenges and how these can be addressed in direct clinical practice and health care systems.

You’ll organise and complete a supervised placement with a mental health service or organisation that provides support to a diverse range of people (eg the NHS or a global mental health and development agency). 

In addition, you’ll also develop your research skills and complete a placement report. By the time you complete the programme, you’ll be an able communicator, adept at expressing your ideas in spoken or written form.

If you complete the first module, you’ll be accredited for exit with a PgCert in Advanced Skills in Mental Health.
