Overview

This evidence-based, experiential workshop (e.g., role plays) provides an overview of early intervention principles and core components in youth mental health care. Young people often present with complex and severe difficulties, requiring practitioners to engage them and their families sensitively, holistically, and collaboratively. The training focuses on strategies to deliver safe, inclusive care that supports recovery and functional outcomes.

  • Explain the rationale and components of early intervention in youth mental health
  • Provide sensitive, safe, and holistic care, including physical and sexual health
