On request training
Opportunity description
This course is part of a suite of free online mental health training resources, looking at mental health issues in kids (aged 5-12). It is designed to support collaborative engagements with children and their families.The course focuses on practice skills and strategies that help children consider the relationships, routines and activities that support and nourish them, and how their presenting problem is getting in the way of these.
The course explores the use of daily functional assessment to help you consider a ‘whole child’ approach to your work. It invites you to consider some common assessment and engagement skills and strategies that can complement your current practice.
The course provides an opportunity to reflect on what is working well, what can be improved, how you can help kids with mental health issues feel more confident and engaged earlier in the life of their service engagement, and how you can strengthen the therapeutic relationship from the first possible opportunity.
