Teaching methods

Opintojakso toteutuu luento-opintoina, pienryhmätyöskentelynä sekä itsenäisenä opiskeluna. Ennen opintojakson alkua opiskelija perehtyy itsenäisesti materiaalin avulla positiivisen mielenterveyden käsitteeseen ja valmistautuu keskustelemaan aiheesta ensimmäisellä kontaktikerralla. Tieto materiaalista lähetetään opintojaksolle ilmoittautuneille viikkoa ennen ensimmäistä kontaktikertaa.
Opinnot alkavat mielenterveys- ja kriisityön osuudella. Mielenterveystyön osalta pari- tai ryhmätentti ja kriisityön osalta erillinen tehtävä. Opintojakso päättyy mielenterveyskuntoutuksen osioon, josta suorituksena on luetun kirjan tai mielenterveyskuntoutujien kanssa tehdyn yhteistyön pohjalta pienryhmässä käyty keskustelu ja sen dokumentointi.
