Upcoming foundational capabilities workshops

Getting on with life: Promoting functional recovery in youth mental health

Clinicians often measure ‘recovery’ from mental ill-health as a reduction in symptoms, however improved functioning (for example employment and education) and wellbeing are also central to young people’s recovery but are often not prioritised in mental health services. This one-day workshop will enhance knowledge and skills over a range of recovery domains. It will include an overview of research, service models and various approaches and strategies for working with the functional recovery of young people with mental ill-health.

At the completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

• summarise the current evidence base and practice in the area of functional recovery;
• apply the rationale for addressing functional recovery in first episode psychosis;
• describe the core domains of functional recovery; and
• implement a range of strategies to enable functional recovery.
