This module introduces students to the fundamentals of psychoeducation, focusing on the design and delivery of effective psychoeducational sessions and equips students with foundational skills in designing, delivering, and ethically evaluating psychoeducational interventions. The practical experience and critical reflection gained will directly support the development of a robust dissertation project involving an action research study of a psychoeducational intervention. Students will explore the role of communication, facilitation, and empathy in creating engaging learning experiences. The module also provides an introduction to the use of immersive technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), in psychoeducation. Through practical sessions, students will develop skills in evaluating and reflecting on psychoeducational practices, considering ethical implications.
