The BEST learning resource ever!

I'm a Psychology graduate who is keen on learning about a wide range of topics including therapeutic modules, positive psychology & more... The MHA has provided me with easy access to so many incredible presentations! I also love that there are 20 hour certificates for certain topics and a 250 hour lifetime achievement. I can't wait to continue my journey on the MHA.

The importance of being a Big Picture Generalist Psychologist

As a graduate 4th year psychologist 29 years ago, I had a strong need to gain a significant body of knowledge and be effective in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of the public. I think that the diversity of courses that the Mental Health Academy offers and their content and understanding makes it easy and relevant to helping Australians with their complex mental health needs.

Outstanding resources, courses and ethics!

I am so grateful for the free access MHA provided me while volunteering in Cambodia. I was able to access top quality resources and complete certificate courses in my own time. Whatever problem I was faced with, I was able to access relevant resources, available 24/7 at my fingertips.

Extremely useful, relevant and cost effective.

I have been a Member of the Mental Health Academy since graduating as a social worker in 2014. I have found my Membership to be extremely useful, relevant and cost effective. There are such a large variety of topics that whatever I need I can find a suitable course, and most often I find many different courses from a range of academics.

My profound thanks to MHA for the marvellous services!

As an independent counsellor, I find my membership of MHA helps give me a sense of belonging and perspective in an otherwise rather solitary work-life, apart of course from my clients.

Convenient Study.

I originally joined MHA as a convenient way of fulfilling my obligation to complete the hours required for my ACA Counselling Membership. Being able to directly upload that information to my ACA account was extremely helpful. I was and still am amazed at the quantity and quality of the courses available.

MHA is my go-to source for continuing education.

I have been a member for a number of years and have consistently found that the courses, videos, webinars and other resources to be immensely valuable to me. I have often used the material as an adjunct to my degree course with another institution when I need to clarify something or to read up on another learning approach.

MHA is Grounded in and Supports Evidence-Based Practice

I have been a member of MHA for the past two years. I have found it to be an excellent resource for a number of practical reasons. These include firstly, it is very affordable and being able to choose between premium membership or standard self-paced text only learning based programs, enhances its affordability.

Opportunities plus!!

I LOVE studying with the MHA. At present I am a stay at home mum and love being able to fit my studies and professional development in and around my first priority - my family. The range of subjects / courses available allow me to keep abreast with current real life trends and issues.

I love the flexibility of completing the training at any time!

I am very pleased with your on-line courses and find it a convenient way to: a) learn more, b) maintain my CPD points and c) not have the added expense of travel/accommodation/etc. to attend courses that are never near my home or in my region.
