Programme aims
The programme aims to equip trainees with foundation psychological knowledge and skills drawn from the available literature, evidence base and best practice guidance for working with people with severe and complex mental health problems. It includes:
- Psychologically informed engagement and relationship formation
- Foundation level skills in psychological assessment and formulation
- Foundation level intervention skills with people with severe and complex mental health problems including complex emotional and relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, psychosis and bipolar disorder. The role of trauma will be considered throughout.
There will be a particular emphasis on the application of skills to the workplace with service users, with opportunities to plan for and discuss experiences of application in practice.
Assessment of skills and knowledge gained will follow the training component.
