About this Event
This two-day workshop will provide an overview of the rationale and core components of early intervention in Youth Mental Health. This workshop will be helpful for a broad range of mental health practitioners and lived experience workers new to working in youth mental health, particularly in area mental health services.
Young people presenting for youth mental health care are often experiencing severe and complex difficulties. The mental health workforce in youth mental health need to develop broad capabilities to engage young people and their families sensitively, holistically, and safely, in a way that encourages involvement in their treatment and recovery. The workshop will focus on the rationale and core components in providing sensitive and safe, holistic care that maximises the outcomes that young people and their families want.
At the completion of this workshop you will be able to:
- describe the rationale and components of early intervention in youth mental health
- recognise the importance of providing sensitive, safe and holistic care to a diverse range of young people and their families, including physical and sexual health and wellbeing.
- engage the systems around young people to best support them.
- develop a formulation-based treatment plan that collaboratively involves the young person and their family.
