Counselling People in Crisis
 
This course is designed for people who have predominantly short term contact with
clients, either by phone or face to face. Typically those clients will be in or approaching a psychotic episode, suffering with a personality disorder, or so distressed that they may harm themselves or attempt suicide. The key aspects of these disorders are therefore covered,
and, in particular, major effective strategies for effective brief intervention. Additionally the principles behind these interventions are covered, to facilitate long term beneficial impact,
along with risk assessment in such high stress situations.

There Must be a Better Way

 
Stopping self harm and replacing it with something better.
 
The title of this course captures the philosophy behind it. Self-harm, though inexplicable to anyone who has never felt the urge to harm themselves, normally serves a very clear purpose. The secret of success is, therefore, to identify that purpose and achieve it in a less traumatic
way. Simple in theory, far from simple in practice, this course examines exactly how to achieve
it successfully.

The ADDRESS™ Course for
Working with Personality Disorder

 
A powerful integrated package for working effectively with Personality Disorder.
 
This course combines relevant aspects of Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
and Motivational Interviewing to form a powerful and systematic intervention for personality disorder. It highlights the problem behaviours associated with personality disorder, how to conceptualise those behaviours in specific cases, how to facilitate insight and motivation
in the patient, and how to generate change strategies. Importantly it also gives participants
a chance to practise applying them to prepared scenarios.

Key Knowledge and Skills for
Working with Substance Misuse

 
How to un-devastate a person’s life.
 
Although this course covers the nature of the substances that are misused, their colloquial
terms etc, its real focus is a clear psychological approach to treating substance misuse.
Leaning heavily on Miller and Rollnick’s Motivational Interviewing and Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of Change the course describes a 5 step system for working and
takes participants through it step by step.

Building a Life Worth Living
 
A new, important 3-day course for mental health professionals aimed at achieving three
things: 1) To help identify people who are at risk of suicide, 2) To show you how to keep
them safe while you help them, and, most of all, 3) To show you how to work with them to eliminate suicide risk: to literally help the person build a life worth living.
