Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing seeks to respond to various challenges, namely the provision of highly qualified and differentiated care, centred on the person, the family, the group and the community, with a view to promoting and protecting mental health, the prevention of mental disorders and the treatment, psychosocial rehabilitation and social reintegration of the person.

The creation of the Master’s in Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing is based on the most recent theoretical references in Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing, meeting the criteria defined for the training of 2nd cycle students, as well as the training requirements for the specialised level defined by the Order of Nurses and it will enable us to contribute to the training of professionals who constitute a critical mass for the implementation of mental health policies in the region and to participate with other health professionals in policies for the organisation of mental health care and in the design, implementation and evaluation of health projects aimed at the well-being and quality of life related to the mental health of populations.
