Acknowledgement of Country We respectfully acknowledge the Indigenous Elders, custodians, their descendants and kin of this land past and present.

Syllabus Introduction to mental health recovery, neuropsychiatric processes across the lifespan. Focus is on mood disorders, psychosis, and anxiety disorders. Aetiology, trajectory, clinical features, impact on occupational performance. Multidisciplinary biological and psychosocial interventions. Occupational therapy process and clinical reasoning. Mental status evaluation and awareness of diagnostic classification systems. Mental health ethical and medico legal issues. Theoretical frameworks in mental health context. Introduction to risk management.

Introduction Welcome to Neuropsychiatry! This unit is the first in a number of units in your course that will equip you with the attitudes, knowledge and skills to journey with and support persons experiencing mental health difficulties (or mental distress). We will be focusing on:

l Why and how mental distress occurs (ie: aetiology) l How they affect the person (ie: clinical features and impact on the person's occupational performance) l Interventions that support persons experiencing mental distress (within the societal, medical and allied health contexts) l Applying the Occupational Therapy process in mental health l How Occupational Therapists can support a person by developing protective factors

This unit will be aligned with recovery oriented and evidence-based practice. As an occupational therapist, you will be one of the bridges between the person experiencing mental distress and the mental health team, as well as the community. We hope that you will be able to adopt a vision for recovery in your future practice.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Learning Activities Personal Experience

Statistics indicate that 20% of people will experience some form of mental illness each year. Hence, it is not uncommon for you or persons close to you to have experienced mental distress. In fact, it will provide a rich and diverse background for learning and reflection within the class. 

To build upon this, we will also be inviting a range of guest speakers to lectures. These speakers will include clinicians and people with a lived experience of mental distress. It will be a fantastic learning opportunity for you to hear from them. So please show them your gratitude by attending and engaging with them.

Readings

To help broaden your perspective and ease of access, we have chosen readings from various sources and linked them to e-Reserve. These readings can be accessed through blackboard (Unit Materials > Relevant Week). This means that there is no required text for this unit.

Active Participation in Lecture and Tutorials

You can expect teaching styles to be interactive. Hence, to make your learning as authentic and enjoyable as possible: 

l Allocate a block of time each week to read and view the preparatory material for your tutorial. l Complete the preparatory material each week before your tutorial / lecture (see Blackboard for relevant readings and/or

audiovisual material) l Listen to the iLecture and note down questions/ thoughts that you have to share in your tutorial. l Come prepared to answer challenge questions (based on your preparatory material) and actively participate in your tutorial

and lectures.

Engagement with other learning opportunities

You are encouraged to keep a look out for current mental health related news/ activities in the community and media and share them with the class. There is also a Mental Health Special Interest Group that meets once every two months to cover current practice/ research related to occupational therapy in mental health for you to tap into.

3. Assessment 3 (40%)

This will be scheduled within the examination period. The exam will require your application of the content covered over the course of this semester.

Pass requirements You are expected to:

l Be punctual and attend all labs and lectures. This is in accordance with accreditation requirements in ensuring you meet the course learning outcomes. Please liaise with your tutor or unit coordinator if you are unable to attend.

l Complete and submit all pieces of assessment. Submission of a blank assignment does not constitute 'completing' an assessment.

l Achieve an overall unit mark of 50% or more.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission (eg a mark

equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

l Applications for extension should be submitted to [email protected]  l If the circumstances for your extension application are likely to impact on multiple units, please contact the course coordinator

(Dave Parsons).

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies

A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin.  This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin’s facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from Disability Services (disability.curtin.edu.au).  Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances.

If you think you may be eligible for a CAP, please contact Disability Services. If you already have a CAP please provide it to the Unit Coordinator at the beginning of each semester.

Referencing style

The referencing style for this unit is APA 6th Ed.

More information can be found on this style from the Library web site: http://libguides.library.curtin.edu.au/referencing.

Copyright © Curtin University. The course material for this unit is provided to you for your own research and study only. It is subject to copyright. It is a copyright infringement to make this material available on third party websites.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Deferred examinations/tests will be held from 12/12/2016 to 16/12/2016 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.
