Early Intervention in Psychosis
 
Effectively applying ‘a stitch in time’ thinking to a complex problem.

to enable you to review and develop your early intervention skills and services if they already exist and to motivate you to develop them if they don’t. It covers early intervention both in the sense of‘intervening around the first episode of psychosis’ and in the sense of ‘spotting impending relapse and endeavouring to prevent it’.
 
A 3-day course for 6-16 people.  
We bring the training to you for an all-inclusive fee of £4,110 plus VAT.

CBT with Psychosis: Module 1
 
Crucial CBT-based interventions for use in everyday conversations and
interactions with people in psychotic episodes.

 
This course examines and teaches the skills that are fundamental in working with all people
with psychosis. Skills such as how to engage, how to talk within the person’s belief system,
how to use Socratic dialogue and the ‘floating of ideas’, what is and what is not ‘collusion’. It covers using them in formal one-to-one sessions and also in informal ward or community situations.

This course is for professionals involved in formal one-to-one therapy with psychotic patients
and covers how to plan and deliver individually tailored programmes of therapy to treat

CBT with Psychosis: Module 3
 
Case studies, case conceptualisation and how to plan the best intervention
.
 
By focusing largely on prepared case examples, and guiding delegates to examine their
own cases, this course teaches how to plan the best course of action for each patient.
Whether that is CBT interventions for delusions and hallucinations, help with obtaining employment and maintaining a social circle, making informed decisions about medication,
or supporting the family and carers, this course aims to give you the knowledge and skill to
plan out the most effective intervention for any of your patients.

Family Interventions in Psychosis
 
How to create a powerful therapeutic milieu for the patient whilst simultaneously
supporting the family.

  
Even if a professional sees a patient for 1 hour per week, that is just 0.6 of one percent of the
patient’s time. By making major differences in the family’s behaviour, on the other hand, the
professional can help create a therapeutic milieu that surrounds and benefits the patient (and
the family) constantly. That is exactly what this course aims to achieve. It does so by (a) addressing major areas we know to be important, such as the implications of ‘expressed
emotion’ research, and (b) giving proper answers to questions that concern the family, like
how to support the person in maintaining friendships.

Working with Dual Diagnosis
 
Doing the best possible for a condition that frequently splits professionals into
rival factions.

  
This course gives you a clear approach for working with one of the most difficult syndromes
in mental health. Leaning on CBT, Motivational Interviewing and the Stages of Change, it advocates an integrated approach to Dual Diagnosis in 6 clear steps. You have a chance to practise and examine these steps with prepared cases. Where appropriate it also examines practical issues such as the inter-relationship between substance misuse services and mental health services and discusses how to develop their working together.
 
A 3-day course for 6-16 people.
