The Department of Mental Health Nursing was founded in 2002 with the primary objective of offering comprehensive mental health care to patients with mental illnesses through the provision of high-quality education in both undergraduate and postgraduate academic programs. Our vision is to be a leading center of excellence in mental health care, education, and research. We are committed to delivering high-quality education and training to our students in order to produce skilled and compassionate psychiatric nurses. Additionally, our department strives to conduct innovative research to contribute to the advancement of psychiatric nursing practices and improve the overall well-being of individuals with mental health challenges.
The department ensures continuous professional development for faculty, ensuring they stay updated with the latest developments in mental health care and nursing practices. Collaboration with other healthcare disciplines, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and occupational therapists, is a key feature. The department actively advocates for the rights and needs of individuals with mental illness, while also engaging with the community to raise awareness about mental health issues and reduce stigma.
