Specific requests for training
Spectrum is able to respond to requests from area mental health services staff to provide specially tailored training events that meet a local need. This training can be delivered locally.
Spectrum has a limited capacity to respond to training requests from non-area mental health services. If we are not able to respond, we may be able to offer suggestions.
Workshops for CAT, IPU, CCU and SECU teams within Victorian Area Mental Health Services.
Requests are invited for workshops to be offered to CAT, IPU, CCU and SECU teams. The content will be developed and targeted to meet each team's particular requirements. The workshops may feature theoretical, practical and experiential components. Topics may include:
- How to assess and manage self-harm and risk
- How to engage with clients
- How to work with the interpersonal issues between a client with BPD and other clients
- How to deal with team issues amongst staff
