Frontline workers in both the public and private sectors today face a wider range of clients with challenging problems. Typically the client has multiple diagnoses in mental health and substance abuse and a significant history of abuse, neglect and social upheaval. This workshop will focus on traditional clinical approaches to assessment and treatment working with major disorders, whilst acknowledging vicarious trauma and the role of self awareness and personal development. |
