About the course

This one-day online simulation course aimed at mental health practitioners who have recently started working in CAMHS, focuses on the assessment and management of young people in the community and crisis/liaison setting.

You will be involved in a series of interactive simulated scenarios using specially trained actors. Following each scenario, the facilitators lead a group debrief as you reflect on the scenario and collectively learn from the experience.

Participants include mental health nurses, social workers, occupational therapists and other multidisciplinary team members.
