Whole-Person Care: Integrating Mental and Physical Health

Mental and physical health are inseparable. People living with pain, injury, fatigue, sleep disruption, anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic health conditions rarely experience these challenges in isolation. Yet many healthcare providers have had little formal training in how these domains interact or how to collaborate effectively across disciplines.

This free course is designed to bridge that gap.

For rehabilitation providers, you'll learn how to recognize and respond to common mental health concerns, have supportive conversations within your scope of practice, and confidently connect patients with the right mental health resources.

For mental health providers, you'll gain a practical understanding of the rehabilitation approaches your clients may encounter, including the principles of physically informed practice, interdisciplinary rehabilitation, and common frameworks used to help people safely return to meaningful activity.

Throughout the course, experienced clinicians from both rehabilitation and mental health share practical tools, real clinical examples, and a common language that supports coordinated, person-centred care.
By the end of the course, you'll have greater confidence collaborating across disciplines, reinforcing consistent messages, and helping people make sense of both their physical and emotional recovery.

What our learners say

“I kinda used to freeze when patients opened up about anxiety or depression...I didn’t want to say the wrong thing. This course gave me really simple tools, language, and examples I could actually use. Now I am starting to feel more confident screening for mental health and knowing when and how to refer. It’s made me a better clinician.”
“I know psychologically informed care is an important piece of MSK care, but I just didn't know how to bring in mental health into the session. I also didn't want to overstep! The screening tools are fast, the strategies are clear, and the conversations feel pretty natural. Great course!
