This is a 2-day workshop, 10am - 4pm on 18 and 19 June, 2018
If a young person was experiencing paranoia or unusual beliefs, and wanted to talk with you about it, would you know what to say or do? Would you like to gain a deeper understanding of paranoia and unusual beliefs, learn how to open up conversations with young people about these experiences and support those in distress?
This workshop is brought to you by Voice Collective from Mind in Camden. Founded on lived experience, and our experience supporting young people, it will provide an innovative approach to understanding and supporting young people experiencing paranoia or unusual beliefs. Through a combination of discussion, practical activity and role-play, it will cover:
- Understanding paranoia and unusual beliefs and the impact these experiences can have on young people
- Making sense of the different explanatory frameworks for paranoia and unusual beliefs
- How to open up conversations with young people about their experiences
- Practical coping strategies for managing distress
- Supporting recovery and resilience
Open to anyone supporting or working with young people, including parents, youth workers, counsellors, CAMHS, EIP, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, OTs, support workers, GPs, substance mis-use workers, YOTs, helpline staff, teachers, mentors and more. It is also open to young people with lived experience, who are aged 16 or over. Please refer to this Eventbrite page with essential information and how to book.
