How to do the course

Essential Introduction

You can work through the modules at your own pace – as a guide we suggest completing one module per week over a 6 week period. You can navigate around the module from the main menu, or the right hand menu.

There are 3 steps to each module:

  1. In each module, watch the recorded tutorial video at the start. This tutorial contains all the required learning for the module.
  2. Following the video, you will see text pages which highlight key points from the film. These are intended to be:
  • helpful for those who learn best through written content.
  • a point of reference should you need to revisit or quote the information.
  • helpful for you to absorb and retain the learning.

3. And perhaps most important of all, please watch the client films at the end of each module – where you will hear directly from people with personal experience of the asylum system and the mental health challenges they have faced.‍
