Training

headspace has developed a range of training packages aimed at enhancing practitioners’ skills in the use of evidence based interventions appropriate for young people with mental health and substance use issues

The education and training resources produced by headspace have been developed in consultation with young people and relevant organisations and professional groups.

Of the seven packages, two are for a more generalist audience:

  • SEE (Screening & Engaging Early) Young People Training
  • Working With Families & Significant Others

Four packages provide specialist training:

  • Motivational Interviewing & Behaviour Change Techniques 
  • Problem Solving Skills Training 
  • Early Identification Of Psychosis In Young People 
  • Managing Challenging Behaviours In Young People: Aggression, Self-Harm & Suicidality

And one package is a school based program:

  • Promoting Access & Support Seeking In Young People: PASS!

The headspace training is scheduled at different times throughout the year. If you are a professional interested in attending training or would like further resources please contact Simon Ashley Binge, Manager 4304 7870
