The VTPU is hosting a seminar titled 'Building Family Skills together: Family based intervention in mental health services - How useful this model for working with CALD families?' on October 15, 2008.
The presenters for this seminar are Brendan O'Hanlon, the Co-ordinator Building Family Skills Together Project and Dr Peter McKenzie, Carer Academic/Family Practice Consultant. Both are with the Bouverie Centre at La Trobe University.
Registered Psychiatric Nurse with North West Area Mental Health Service, Amy Nicolaidis, will also be presenting at this seminar.
Building Family Skills Together is a two-year project that aims to implement sustainable evidence based family intervention in the Continuing Care Teams of the North West Area Mental Health Service.
It is a collaborative venture of The Psychosocial Research Centre (PRC), North West Area Mental Health Service (NWAMHS) and The Bouverie Centre.
In addition to training staff in the intervention, a unique feature of the implementation is the 'embedding' of two Family Practice Consultants from The Bouverie Centre at the Moreland and Broadmeadows Continuing Care Teams. The Family Practice Consultants work alongside staff in seeing families, conduct Mentoring Groups and initiate implementation committees to facilitate the organizational changes necessary to sustain work with families.
The experience of the project will be presented from the vantage points of the clinician, family practice consultant and project implementation.
This presentation will include the experiences of clinicians/family practice consultants using this model with families from CALD backgrounds.
The seminar will be followed by a transcultural case study presented a Psychiatric Registrar at St Vincent's Hospital. The case presentation is for clinicians, consumer consultants, and carer consultants only.
