Hi everyone!

Re: Short online mental health/psychology courses?
If youre looking to do something short, Open Universities offers single subjects that you can do instead of doing a 3 year long degree, Have a look around at their subjects available, theres some great options

Masters of Psych? Nice! Which uni are you looking at right now? (dunno if it's against the ToS to ask or answer that question lol)
I wanna do Masters some time next year.

@missep Future Learn has some good free courses, particularly one about Mindfulness, which I did and really enjoyed

@LeoTheLion thank you! I'm nervous about it a little bit but pretty much going to apply for every uni in Sydney because I don't really want to move interstate at the moment.
That's awesome you want to do Masters too!!

Going good! I'm going to look into doing these short courses soon. I recently updated my resume so I feel less disheartened about it all. All the small certificates and courses really do add to my knowledge and experience

Have you done any short courses before?

Re: Short online mental health/psychology courses?
Hey @missep that’s so great to hear! You’re taking awesome steps. Yeah I’ve done a few relating to mental health and disability...but I also recently completed a bachelors in psychology so that was super long haha. I’m definitely going to keep looking for more courses to add to my knowledge and resume. Knowledge is power!
