Perinatal Mental Health

On this course, you’ll develop your current skills as a health or social care professional specialising in perinatal mental health. You’ll use applied, case-based scenarios to enhance your thinking, and develop your practice knowledge through peer learning and tutorial support. You’ll graduate able to provide effective, specialist care for families and individuals.

How you learn

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive distance learning environment in which you can thrive at your own pace.

Online distance learning at Sheffield Hallam provides you with a rich, connected learning experience.

You’ll receive virtual support and signposting during induction, so you’re ready to access our learning environment and meet your fellow students online from day one. Module leaders are available electronically if there are issues and will set tutorials across each module for support.

You learn through

Interactive, self-directed and peer-supported learning is broken down into manageable chunks to help you to maximise access. This also creates a flexible learning experience around your substantive roles – plus specific areas of interest to develop your individual portfolio of learning.

Applied learning

Live projects

This course will allow you to connect virtually with other distance learners to undertake critical analysis and learning from real-life case studies.

Networking opportunities

Throughout the programme you’ll liaise virtually with tutors and other learners who share the same passions as you. There are regular opportunities to meet online using a range of accessible technologies – with both lecturers and your cohort colleagues.
