What will you learn?

In this training program, the aim is to enhance the participants' knowledge and skills on psychosocial, developmental, psychological and behavioral issues of children and adolescents. Additionally, the collaboration between mental health specialists and the judicial system will be further analyzed, with an attempt to create a smoother and proactive cooperation system.  Thus, a programme, with an active, participatory character, linking theory to practice is already  in place. 

What is the training program content?

The training, which features vignette-based content and workshops, is delivered as a 2-day seminar,  5 hours per day, per location. The selection of the module content is based on responses of the participants in CAMHI's local needs assessment focusing on the main issues they face in their daily practice.

Lecture 2: Conflicting divorces/Custody claims

Lecture 3. Behavioral issues, Misconduct, delinquency & Bullying, Cyberbullying
