The field of mental health nursing (behavioral health/psychiatric-mental health nursing) plays a critical role in supporting individuals, families, and communities with psychological, behavioral, and emotional health needs. Mental health nurses draw on nursing skills, therapeutic communication, crisis intervention, assessment, and evidence-based clinical care to support clients across the lifespan, from children to older adults, in settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, community mental health centers, schools, and correctional or residential facilities.
At PESI, we offer a curated collection of continuing education courses, clinical tools, and resources tailored for behavioral health nurses. Our goal is to help you stay current with best practices, deepen your therapeutic competence, and provide compassionate, effective care — whether your work involves crisis stabilization, long-term mental health support, substance use, trauma, or integrated care.
Explore free tools and expert-led content for mental health nurses: blogs, downloadable guides, quick reference tools, and clinical tips. These resources cover topics like depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, geriatric mental health, crisis intervention, and recovery-oriented care.
These tools are designed to help you enhance client care, support long-term recovery, and stay informed about evolving practices, whether you’re newly entering mental health nursing or seeking to deepen your expertise.
