Global Context of Mental Health Nursing

This course provides opportunities to develop an understanding of how diverse contexts shape the mental health of individuals, families, and communities. Similarities and differences in mental health nursing and standards of care across diverse global contexts are explored. Students will explore and critique how values, culture, policies, and models of care shape practice within and across countries. This systems-level analysis provides students with opportunities to identify, compare, and critique best practices to envision possibilities for change within the Canadian health care system.
