| Gippsland Mental Health Vacation School |
Orientation to a mental health career in Gippsland
The Gippsland mental health vacation school is offered to 3rd and 4th year undergraduate, honours and postgraduate entry students in psychology, social work, occupational therapy, nursing and other allied health. Preference is given to those who have rural backgrounds and are currently studying in Melbourne. The approach to their recruitment is intended to encourage these students to return or move to Gippsland to work in the mental health field.
The aims of the Vacation School program are to:
- orient potential mental health professionals to the region and the mental health employment opportunities, employers and colleagues in the region
- inform participants about the extent of professional work being done and available in the field, challenge negative perceptions and build positive attitudes towards working in mental health in Gippsland
- initiate personal relationships between the participants (potential employees) and organisations (potential employers) delivering services in the region, and ultimately to
- motivate participants to consider working in the region.
