Mental Health Toolkit Overview

The Mental Health Toolkit is designed for primary care clinicians seeking advanced knowledge and practical skills in mental health care. The Toolkit aims to develop your skills in recognising and managing a range of mental health conditions within primary care.

The Toolkit consists of 13 stand-alone modules, each requiring less than 1 hour to complete and accredited for 2 CPD points with the HPCSA. Each module in the Toolkit is crafted to be clear and concise, delivering practical, ready-to-use guidelines that empower professionals to make an immediate impact in their practice.

You have the flexibility to complete the modules in any order or follow them in sequence for a more comprehensive understanding. Whether you want to focus on specific topics or cover the full spectrum of mental health conditions, the Toolkit adapts to your needs and pace. This flexible approach allows you to work through the Toolkit at your own pace, making it easy to integrate valuable mental health insights into your daily practice - whenever and wherever it suits you.

Each module ends with a 5-question quiz that requires 70% to pass. To complete the module and obtain a completion certificate, you must work through all of the content and pass the quiz.
