Therapeutic Systems Work

These are free events designed for members of the public clinical mental health workforce in Victoria, (staff employed at Area Mental Health Services, Forensicare or mental health staff from RCH) and lived experience workforces (LEW) working in either public clinical or community mental health state-funded roles. Other workforce in partner organisations, such as AOD organisations or ACCHOs, may sometimes be eligible. Please note, if you do register for an event and it is not clear you are part of the intended audience, your registration will be confirmed two weeks prior to the event start date, or earlier. 



This training aligns to Capability 12 (Supporting system navigation, partnerships and collaborative care) of the Victorian Mental Health & Wellbeing Workforce Capability Framework.

• Consideration of family systems and working effectively with these when there has been a history of trauma
• Apply practical approaches to mapping and engagement with the systems around the child
• Understanding how core psychotherapeutic and trauma-informed principles can be applied to our work with the system around the child
