Training

This full day training teaches therapeutic engagement, risk assessment, safety planning, identification and responding to youth with appropriate interventions. We will share the most current research around youth suicide risk assessment, as well as solution-focused interventions in the area of clinical intervention. One of the primary goals of the training will be to build therapeutic skills to aid in reducing risk over time.

This session will facilitate a richer understanding of FASD and the implications of the disorder. The participants will be better able to screen for FASD and understand how to be more inclusive of this disorder within their scope of practice.

The London Family Court Clinic (LFCC) provides a number of services for the Youth Justice Sector which address both treatment as well as the assessment needs of the young people. This workshop will focus on outlining the assessment and intervention services directed toward youth involved with the Justice System and related sectors.

Exploration of direct practice methods for helping youth and their families to increase their ability to “bounce back” from challenging situations (stress, trauma, and adversity) to become more psychologically resilient, an area of focus that enhances successful outcomes and happiness.

This workshop offers an overview of the four methods of child protection ADR available to families as an alternative to court; Family Group Conferencing, Child Protection Mediation, Indigenous Approaches/ODR and the 4th Option.

Developmental trauma involves chronic child maltreatment and the loss of a primary attachment (caregiver) which impacts the child’s developmental potential and has implications for health and mental health outcomes in adulthood. This training will assist with the assessment of developmental trauma and offer best practices for supportive interventions.

Vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue impact the lives of professionals in the justice, child welfare, mental health and healthcare systems in psychological, social, physical and spiritual ways. This training focuses on both self- and co-worker care.

Using a trauma-informed approach challenges organizations and individuals to develop new perspectives on adaptation. It involves the fundamental shift from, “what’s wrong with you?” to “what’s happened to you?” A new paradigm for understanding mental health challenges more broadly is shared.

Clinicians learn to design interventions that address the impact of trauma on children and adolescents by meeting their unique needs. Theoretical concepts related to child/adolescent development and useful applications related to impacting the trajectory of development as it relates to abuse/trauma.

Evidence-based best practices are shared regarding the entire spectrum of suicide prevention, intervention and post-vention with a systematic review of case studies. Therapeutic engagement, risk assessment, safety planning, identification and responding with appropriate interventions for risk reduction are covered.

IPV exists on a continuum and although mistreatment can take many forms, coercive control is the hallmark of abuse. Understanding the dynamics and impacts of abuse is critical to evaluate risk, increase safety, and determine appropriate interventions for all family members.

A best practice model is shared for assessing families involved in custody and access disputes incorporating the implications of IPV. A developmental framework for understanding the impact of IPV on children of different ages is included.

CBI is designed to change unhelpful thinking/behavior patterns. CBI training provides the mental health professional with the theoretical foundation as well as practical techniques for use with clients. Research supports CBI as best practice to address anxiety, depression, antisocial beliefs, and conduct problems.
