Abstract

This chapter aims to orient the reader to contemporary context in mental health education while outlining current developments and new theoretical directions for the field.

Fragmented healthcare systems and the interrelatedness of mental and physical ill health necessitate integrated and collaborative ways of working in mental healthcare. At the same time, a lack of trained mental health professionals means that other health professionals will need to become competent in the assessment and management of mental health difficulties if population mental health is to improve.

Given this, it is important to develop educational interventions that prepare healthcare professionals of all specialties to deliver mental healthcare. Here, novel ways of thinking about the pedagogy of mental health education are required. This includes reviewing the requisite learning outcomes and the pedagogical mechanisms required to achieve them. Innovative educational methods – including interprofessional education, co-production, and technology-enhanced learning – will be important in ensuring that future workforces are adequately prepared for working with those with mental health needs.
