Ms Kathleen Wood joined Take Two in 2017, commencing in clinical roles before moving into Take Two’s state-wide Knowledge Team as a Senior Consultant. Take Two’s Knowledge Team is responsible for providing a wide-range of internal and external clinical practice development activities, that support clinicians and teams to embed an evidence-informed, trauma responsive, approach to clinical service delivery. Kathleen is a qualified Social Worker and Phase 2 Trainer Certified in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics. Kathleen has extensive experience working in Community Service Organisations and clinical services, particularly with children and families with statutory, Child Protection, involvement.
What does the training include?
Infants, children, and adolescents typically don't present to mental health services alone. There are usually others involved, requiring the consideration of a systemic approach to assessment, diagnosis, formulation & treatment planning. These "others" may range from immediate carers to the schools the young person attends, or to wider service providers such as GPs, Child Protection, Family Services, Paediatricians, or a variety of private services.
Equally, after assessment, it might be that alternate services are required, or treatment should be undertaken in a shared-care type arrangement. In this seminar we explore how we identify who is involved in the young person's life and how we might go about engaging these services and the family to make sense of the presentation we are seeing and coordinate our approaches to treatment planning.
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and reflect on the following questions:
- What are the different systems that you might engage with for the purpose of assessment or intervention planning?
- What might working/responding in a “therapeutic manner” mean to these different systems?
