Previous Courses Offered
The Supervisory Process
Participants will learn a conceptual framework and develop skills through working on a supervisory presentation. Psychotherapy is not an intellectual process. The psychotherapist must under-stand the interactional dynamics between the client and the therapist. No matter what the therapist’s orientation is and what kind of active interventions one wants to implement, if one does not grasp the interactional dynamics, the effectiveness is left to chance.
Developing an Internal Support System and Organization of Community Mental Health Consultation Service
The workshop participants explored how and what kind of record system is necessary in order to develop an Internal Support System within the consultant organization. Caplan’s writings are very clear in describing the theory and practice of Community Mental Health Consultation. These workshops compliment his work by providing practical skills in the implementation and development of such services. In our experience, the success of a mental health consultation program is largely dependent on the back-up Peer Consultation and Individual Supervisory support systems available to the consultants in their own organization.
Community Mental Health Consultation: Basic Concepts
The goal of Community Mental Health Practice is to solve problems where they occur and in collaboration with the persons/organizations that have a stake in the outcome. Mental Health Consultation is the most effective way to help professionals in non-mental health academic and human service organizations to achieve their work objectives.
Development of Community Mental Health Consultation
The workshop participants will learn the theory and practice of developing consultation relationships with other human service providers and academic institutions in the community.
Public Health Approach in the Delivery of Community Mental Health Services
Public Health Concepts were discussed with actual examples from community mental health work to illustrate how Public Health Approach can be used to prevent mental disorders and promote mental health.
