Holistic Mental Health Support is the first comprehensive Australian text directly addressing the Certificate IV in Mental Health CHC43315. With a practice perspective in a competency framework, the text takes a strengths-based and person-centred approach, directly addressing the self-directed, recovery-oriented aims of training. This text addresses the mandatory core competencies as well as electives to comply with packaging rules, following the proven preferred structure for Community Services – chapter by competency – and then alignment of headings to elements and performance criteria of competency descriptors.
