This valuable and engaging one-day online course explores how you conduct a professional assessment of a client’s risk profile, assess their current level of psychological and emotional functioning, consider the use of formal psychological measurement tools, and ask difficult questions about suicide and safeguarding issues.
The skill of assessment is doing all this while balancing the need to be empathic and highly responsive to your client’s subjective experience and story.
The aim of this daylong workshop is to provide you with the core competencies and skills needed to deliver client assessments successfully and comfortably within your practice or organisation. You will cover the key areas for client assessment using up to date theory, policies and use practical client examples. You will work in small breakout groups and share ideas within larger group discussions so you also learn co-creatively.
The aim is to give you practical ideas, skills and knowledge you can use immediately, as well as theoretical and clinical knowledge.
At the end of the workshop, you will receive a Connexus Institute Ongoing Professional Development certificate and gain 6 hours of CPD. This highly engaging and stimulating workshop is perfect for anyone beginning to work with clients or starting in private practice.
