Mental Health Community of Practice

What does this mean for you?

Black Dog Institute launched their Health Professional Resource & Education Hub on 20 March 2023.

The custom-built platform provides health professionals with access to evidence-based online resources, including training modules, webinars, podcasts and e-Mental Health in Practice content. 

GPs and allied health professionals can access free CPD accredited webinars and accredited online learning modules, with new content and courses to be added on a regular basis. 

New users can sign up to the Health Professional Resource & Education Hub here https://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/cop
