The Collaborative Centre supports a learning mental health and wellbeing system across Victoria.
We bring together research evidence, clinical wisdom, Lived and Living Experience expertise, and workforce capability to strengthen how the system learns, connects and improves.
We work in systems and truthfully, we are part of those systems but also sit on the edges of those systems. We need to be able to “play well in the sandpit” to be of any use within our roles. But, how do we do that when others keep trying to have us work outside of our scope?
This seminar will explore the nature of adolescent substance use, identifying when it becomes problematic to an extent that warrants intervention.
How do we support families when our systems are built around individualistic approaches that see people as separate from one another? When one person's distress ripples through their entire circle, and shows up in overlapping and interconnected ways—and yet support systems remain divided?
Whether we are supporting people with mental health or AOD challenges, we can meet them wherever they are on their journey. Come along and explore how we can be helpful, rather than the “unhelpful” helpful, through different stages of people’s lives.
This workshop will focus on the theory and practice of providing psychological interventions for young people with bipolar disorder. It is designed to be interactive and experiential and will offer opportunities for skills practise.
