Learn

This course has been designed to equip general practitioners (GPs) with skills to provide psychological intervention directly with children and provide support to their families. The skills covered in this course can be used while a child and family wait to receive further support or as stand-alone interventions when referral to specialist services is not warranted. The course draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, psychoeducation and transdiagnostic skills.

Learning Outcomes

2. Identify and implement appropriate FPS interventions for common child mental health conditions by actively involving children and families in your case formulation practices
3. Formulate treatment plans based on the focused psychological strategies of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and transdiagnostic approaches)
4. Develop reflective practice and explore pathways for supervision to support and enhance your work with children, families and other practitioners.
