Cost
During this two-day in-person workshop, participants will be introduced to the underlying theory and practice guidelines of the Good Lives Model of offender rehabilitation (GLM). The limitations of formulating cases primarily in terms of dynamic risk factors will be discussed along with the advantages of adopting a strengths-oriented approach. The fundamentals of GLM assessment and case formulation will be presented. Participants will then be guided through the process of conducting a GLM-guided assessment by working through a number of clinical examples. In the second day, the primary focus is on using the GLM to construct good lives intervention plans, drawing from cases vignettes and cases that participants have brought along from their own practice.
This workshop is suitable for professionals working with mental health and justice-involved people. If you have questions about your suitability for this workshop, please contact FMHPDP@swin.edu.au
