Description

BPD and Complex trauma impact the personal lives and professional relationships of a significant number of people in the community. The impacts of trauma and negative attachment experiences can leave a person struggling to know how to engage effectively in treatment and support, whom to trust, what is actually considered ‘safe’, and may increase fears of further trauma and relationship rejection or abandonment. Together, these experiences can contribute to feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, increased anxiety, decreased coping and an exacerbation in self-harm and suicide thinking.

Our Curious Minds (complex mental health training and consultancy) have partnered with Neami National (recovery-oriented community mental health organisation) to deliver a series of workshops  designed to help both clinical and non-clinical services gain a better understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Complex Trauma.

Workshop Content

The workshop will help participants develop a clearer understanding of BPD and Complex Trauma, their differences and similarities, and provide effective strategies to support consumer-centred outcomes in challenging situations.

Topics covered include:

• Promoting meaningful interactions within clear boundaries that support emotional growth and recovery.
• The function of deliberate self-harm and effective responses to enhance safety.
• Reducing relevant risk factors and promoting protective factors in suicide and self-harm.
• Responding effectively and efficiently in crisis situations.
• Trauma-Informed Care and Practice – its role in supporting recovery-orientated outcomes.

 

1. 1. Part 1 is a  2 hour pre-recorded online webinar focusing on presenting features and influencing factors for BPD and Complex Trauma, including their overlaps, their differences and their unique requirements for supporting recovery-orientated and trauma informed outcomes.
   2. Part 2 is a 2 hour pre-recorded online webinar focusing on the role of attachment, working through relationship challenges and addressing considerations and interventions for suicide and crisis situations.
   3. Part 3 is a 3.5 hour LIVE webinar delivered on NOVEMBER 19th at 11am PERTH TIME broken into two sessions with a short break in between.
      • Utilising a detailed case example, we will further explore the impacts of trauma and its impact on the client – worker relationship. Interactive group work will provide practical opportunities to work through these relational challenges applying the learnings from the pre-recorded sessions.
      • The second session addresses the practical impacts of deliberate self harm and utilises group work to apply helpful interventions underpinned by a trauma informed approach. We will have time to discuss crisis situations and helpful strategies to support recovery focused outcomes.
