Working with Children, Adolescents, and Families

14 March 2025

Participants will explore topics such as working with complex trauma and emotional dysregulation, managing complexity in child health settings, addressing perinatal and postnatal mental health, and supporting children whose parents have mental illness. The workshop will also cover family systems and therapeutic approaches.

HOW TO APPLY

Workshop Information

The overall theme of this three-day workshop will relate to formulation driven practice when working with clinical complexity as well as working systemically. Content covered will likely include the following components*:

  • Working with complex trauma and emotional dysregulation: formulation and intervention
  • Complexity within child health settings
  • Perinatal and postnatal mental health as well as working with children whose parents have mental illness
  • Family systems: formulation and therapeutic approaches

It is hoped that by the end of the workshop participants will have gained a greater awareness of the complexity that exists within the child, adolescent, and family population as well as advancing their confidence, knowledge, and application, both at an individual and systems level, across formulation and intervention.
