Confidentiality is frequently seen as a key barrier to clinicians working effectively with the family and friends of people experiencing a mental health crisis. This half day interactive course examines misconceptions about confidentiality and information sharing and offers suggestions for ways to develop your practice to offer more support and information to family and friends carers so that they are more confident about what they can reasonably do to keep their family member safe. We use the term family carers to mean anyone who is significant to the patient, including biological and non biological family and friends who may or may not live in the same household or even the same country. WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course is suitable for anyone working in Health and Social Care whose work brings them into direct contact with someone experiencing a mental health crisis. This includes psychiatrists, nurses, ED service leads, social workers, occupational therapists who have all benefitted from this training. Price: £234 More information and booking link here.

There is a great deal of professional and statutory guidance that expects clinicians to involve the families of people during and following an acute mental health crisis. And yet, Coroner’s Prevention of Future Deaths reports, and investigations following homicides when the perpetrator had a diagnosed mental illness, regularly point to the lack of meaningful engagement of the family, the failure to listen to their views, experiences and needs, or to offer them support and information to keep their family member safe. Martha’s rule, which is to be extended to mental health services, will also require good working relationships with families. Making Families Count Life Beyond the Cubicle project was funded by NHS England (HEE South East Region legacy funds). The project’s resources were co-created with patients, family carers and clinicians, tested in eleven NHS Trusts, and independently evaluated. The resources have been shown to encourage clinicians to work well with family and friends in order to improve care, avoid harm and reduce deaths. This training is offered to support Trusts and social care agencies to embed effective working with family carers across their workforce. It is participative and interactive, and explores the key reasons clinicians find it challenging to work well with family carers, with time to share and explore good practice and share experiences of approaches taken to improve patient care and family involvement. The Life Beyond the Cubicle eLearning resources are available free to health and social care professionals via the NHS England eLearning platform. NHS Trusts can download the modules and upload them to their own Learning and Development system. WHO SHOULD ATTEND This course is suitable for anyone working in Health and Social Care whose work brings them into contact with people experiencing mental health crises, and whose role offers opportunities to facilitate group discussions and learning.

The new NHS England guidance Staying Safe from Suicide; confirms that risk cannot and should not be measured using risk scales, and that any such scales are dangerously misleading. A more helpful and hopeful perspective is to think about the safety of people who might at times feel suicidal. This includes engaging in collaborative safety planning with patients and their family carers. This interactive half day course uses video and audio case studies to examine why safety planning is so important, and explores practical ideas about how meaningful and feasible safety planning can be carried out with family carers.
