An advanced workshop uses a diversity lens to explore contemporary approaches to recovery-oriented practice in mental health settings.
It also introduces ways to conduct person-centred assessments that understand cultural and social context and the powerful determinates of health and wellbeing.
Using a variety of facilitation modes, grounded in a reflective practice approach, the workshop is designed to stimulate the interest of participants in the range of issues related to transcultural mental health and recovery, and provide learners with the opportunity to explore the challenges and realities of assessment and recovery alongside diverse communities.
VTMH workshops are open and provided free to staff working in Victoria’s state-funded mental health workforce. This includes public clinical and community mental health services, as well as state-funded mental health programs within community health and social services. This workshop will interest staff working in a range of roles across these workforces. This includes but is not limited to community rehabilitation and recovery workers, lived experience workers, mental health nursing, case management, social work, occupational therapy, psychiatry, and program leaders/project workers.
Due to funding arrangements, workshops are currently unavailable to those working solely in private practice/NDIS providers. If you register and it is not clear you are part of the intended audience, we may contact you to confirm your eligibility. We thank you for your understanding.
