Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
As psychological therapists, it is imperative for us to consider how we prepare individuals for therapy coming to an end and also, ways of maintaining well-being and managing potential set-backs post-discharge. This workshop will include opportunities to explore factors that shape mental health as well as what the concepts of staying well and relapse management mean when applied to clinical practice. As part of our work, it is also important to consider the types of triggers and early warning signs that may be associated with relapse when working with a range of individuals. It vital to ensure that strategies relating to staying well are also thought about in the context of lifespan and cultural considerations in order to support positive patient experience and outcomes.
The event will be equivalent to 2.3/4hrs of CPD.
