This unit investigates the issues related to student welfare, wellbeing and discipline, in both generalised education and special education populations. Topics to be covered include mental health issues (including childhood and adolescent bipolar and depression, and schizophrenia); homosexual bullying; strengths of students with special needs (rather than the traditional deficit model); supporting students with behavioural syndromes (ADHD; ODD and Conduct Disorder) and teacher welfare and wellbeing. -- Course Website
