Year 4C medical students from South Gippsland took part in a Medicine of the Mind revision workshop recently which focussed on youth mental health issues.

Key workers within their fields led the workshop. They hosted 30 minute case scenarios for discussion, aimed at increasing understanding of the complexities of the youth mental health field.

The content of each scenario was matched to each facilitator’s speciality. Scenarios were designed to ensure that key competences such as MSE (mental state examination) and risk were explored in the context of a larger more complex scenario.

Students reported they enjoyed the workshops, saying they added to their overall understanding of youth mental health situations.
